Washington State Healthcare Executives Forum

WSHEF Meeting Information:

In an effort to make WSHEF activities more accessible to our members state wide, we are video teleconferencing the meetings to locations around the state.

Regular Meetings:
WSHEF regularly meets on the first Tuesday of most months for networking and a guest speaker. The social, with light refreshments (depending on location), is from 5:15 - 6:00 pm and a program follows from 6:00-7:00 pm. A nominal fee of $15 is payable for non-student ACHE members and $25 for non-ACHE members. Currently these fees are required for the Seattle and Spokane locations only. In an effort to both enhance our ability to coordinate multiple sites and take payments, we have initiated the use of Cvent for event planning. We request that all participants register, and for those sites requiring payment, we also ask that those payments be made online using PayPal. Registration (online) and payment (PayPal) at the door is an option. We are attempting to move away from collecting cash/checks so please expect to pay exclusively online in the future.

UPCOMING EVENTS

March, 2010

ACHE Congress - Chicago, IL

Marcel Loh, our ACHE Regent for Washington, still has available some tuition waivers for the Congress coming up in March. As an affiliate, if you are in between jobs, or have some other financial hardship that is causing you not to consider the Congress, these waivers are available to cover the tuition costs of the Congress. You do have to cover your other expenses.

If you are interested, please e-mail Marcel at marcel.loh@swedish.org
