Our 2021 Emerging Leader Mentorship Program seeks to create 1-on-1 mentor/mentee matches for early careerists from underrepresented communities with mentors in senior-level positions in healthcare in a nine-month mentorship program. If you are interested in our mentor program, please contact our Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Veronique Perry, MHA, MBA.

Our Chapter believes that diversity and inclusion can serve as a catalyst for improved decision making, increased productivity, and a competitive advantage.
