The Women’s Forum of the Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives (CTAHE) is seeking candidates for our 2017 annual award. The purpose of this year’s grant is to recognize a deserving CTAHE member who demonstrates leadership in healthcare management. The Women’s Forum will sponsor the awardee’s attendance at the American College of Healthcare Executives 2017 Congress on Healthcare Leadership, providing $1,500 towards reimbursement for the registration, and travel and lodging expenses.
Promoting professional development and personal growth is the mission of the Women’s Forum, provided through networking and educational opportunities. Begun in 1981 as a nonprofit association, and formerly called Connecticut Women in Healthcare Management, the legacy continues through a 2010 merger with the CTAHE and its rebranding as the Women’s Forum, providing expanded interaction with women working within all aspects of the healthcare industry.
Candidates for the scholarship must be female and current members of the Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives. All application materials must be received by February 6th, 2017. Selection will be made by the Scholarship Committee by February 20th, 2017. Additional information and the application are available on the website: http://ctahe.ache.org/womens-forum.
