A New....
Decade (2020 – 2029)
Association Name (Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions)
President (Phyllis King)
Strategic Plan (2020 – 2025)
I am honored, eager, and ready to serve ASAHP as your new President. Past leadership has positioned the Association well from a staffing, budget, and leadership perspective to enable the Association to sustain effective practices and take on new initiatives that advance and enhance the Association’s mission and vision. Special appreciation goes to Susan Hanrahan and the board for their great work.
The ASAHP Board is holding a strategic planning retreat in January. We will revisit what strategies and initiatives have and are serving the Association well, and what new actions should be taken to meet the needs of the Association in a rapidly changing environment. The outcomes of this retreat will be shared with the membership for feedback and endorsement. We will welcome your volunteerism to support the new plan.
Ongoing activities currently include tweaking the Institutional Profile Survey for administration to institutions in 2020, planning for the 2020 Leadership Development Program (applications are now being accepted for participants), generating publications and presentations on Interprofessional Education, surveillance and engagement in federal and legislative policies and actions affecting health care education, research and practice, advancing the work of the International Task Force and Tri-Alliance to develop a global rehabilitation health worker certification in rehabilitation, and supporting Alpha Eta.
The future of health and health care will likely be driven by digital transformation. Exponential change and innovations in healthcare practice will continue. I invite you to join me in embracing change and designing our destiny. This will require activism, engagement, education, strategy, and partnerships. Together we can do this!
I wish you a safe and joyous holiday season.
Phyllis King
