DES MOINES, IOWA (March 28, 2023) — The Iowa Hospital Association is accepting nominations for the 2023 Advanced Leadership Academy. The academy was created to support future leaders through in-person learning, mentoring and networking. The 2023 academy will be guided by Lisa Radtke, a former IHA board member and retired hospital executive, and IHA member CEOs, former health-care executives, and industry experts.
The program consists of five sessions held at IHA and health-care facilities in central Iowa and culminates in capstone project presentations in April 2024. Discussions cover a variety of leadership topics including:
- Communicating with stakeholders, staff, and the public;
- Creating a high-performing organizational culture;
- Equipping leaders for effective financial management;
- Maintaining CEO, board, and staff relations; and
- Thinking strategically.
To join the 2023 academy, hospital CEOs must nominate candidates, who then can register. Members of the 2023 class will have an assigned mentor. Members also will receive complimentary registrations for IHA's 2023 and 2024 Summer Leadership Forum and 2024 Governance Forum. E-mail Corey Martin (martinc@ihaonline.org) at IHA with questions.
