Leadership & Recognition
——————————————–
ACHE Western Florida Chapter is proud to recognize outstanding leadership and dedication within its membership.
ACHE Recognition Program
The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Recognition Program celebrates affiliates’ commitment to the healthcare management profession. Recognition is bestowed at three levels based on a range of specific volunteer activities that demonstrate leadership and contributions to furthering professional excellence. All active ACHE affiliates are eligible to be recognized.
The ACHE Recognition Program is based on points accrued through volunteer activities performed in a convocation year (April–March). An affiliate does not need to achieve a set number of points in a single year, but rather points will build over time. In that manner, affiliates have the opportunity to progress through the three award levels.
The three award levels are:
Exemplary Service Award = 125 points
Distinguished Service Award = 75 points
Service Award = 30 points
