ACHE Regents Awards Program:

Each year, ACHE Regents have the opportunity to provide awards for outstanding healthcare executive leadership in their jurisdiction. The Regent’s Awards recognize exemplary leadership of both Early Career and Senior Level healthcare executives. The criteria for both levels can be found in this link: 2026 Regents Award Program
On behalf of the ACHE, I sincerely hope that you will take time to consider nominating deserving individuals for one or both of these important Regent’s Awards. As indicated on the nomination form, nominations must be received at AHA headquarters by Saturday, August 1, 2026, to allow adequate time for the selection process to occur. Award winners will be announced at the AHA Annual Meeting Awards Luncheon on October 15, 2026.

Arkansas Chapter Distinction

American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) instituted ‘Chapter Management and Awards Program’ to ensure the delivery of high-quality services to ACHE members and other healthcare executives at the local level.
