President's Message

Dear Colleagues:

As we wind down 2022 the delight of the holiday season approaches and all the new year to come may behold. Over this past year NCAHQ has much to be thankful for, celebrate and look forward to in 2023. On behalf of our Board of Directors, we would like to take a moment to recognize past Board Members for their time, engagement, and energy. NCAHQ would not be thriving today without each of your contributions! NCAHQ is a strong and vital organization focused on being a go-to professional resource for healthcare quality. Over fifteen dedicated volunteer leaders and countless committee members make this all possible. With our seven state multi-state collaborative we provide our members with twenty plus webinar opportunities on a broad array of substantive topics, and most recently access to a CPHQ certification review course.

At the end of October, we closed our annual educational needs survey. Thank you for responding! Next, we will be processing the results and use your feedback to shape NCAHQ’s educational programs, enhance our website and more. As a part of the survey, we also garnered members interest in joining NCAHQ’s committees. Succession planning is vital to the future of our organization.

Our Board of Directors ushered five new members into open positions for the 2022-2023 year and retained current board members to transition new committee members into their chair roles. Additionally, we extended the role of chair elect for our committees to ensure ongoing growth and sustainment of a healthy board. At NCAHQ we recognize staying connected is essential to promote networking, support relationship building and help us all do our jobs better. We are planning to offer a virtual Town Hall tentatively set for January 27th, 2023.

Even more great news! NCAHQ is thrilled to share the return of our annual conference to take place in May 2023 with in-person and virtual options for participating. 

I am privileged to serve along-side all of you and continue to be an integral part of NCAHQ!

All my best,

Laurie A. Beasley, MSN, RN, NE-BC, CPHQ
