AHVAP announces that final plans for its Healthcare Industry Advisory Council (HIAC) have been approved by the board of directors. Since the creation of the Affiliate Member category in 2018, many of these members have been envisioning additional avenues to support AHVAP and to advance its vision of “national recognition as the preeminent clinical resource in providing education, resources and networking to its membership and promoting Value Analysis in the healthcare community”.
The creation of the HIAC will assist AHVAP in meeting goals formulated in it’s one of its current three-year Strategic Plan goals of “Projecting Out On the National Stage.” Overall, the purpose of the HIAC is to advise the AHVAP leadership by making recommendations for enhancing communication among Affiliate members, recruiting new AHVAP members from across the healthcare industry and encouraging participation in committees, workgroups and task forces to build strong foundational programs and relationships. A key goal will be fostering relationships with AHVAP district representatives and regional directors to assist in supporting events and activities.
The HAIC will be led by current Affiliate Member Board Advisor Jeff Borgstrom with support from 2020 AHVAP leaders Laura Polson, President, Jeffiny Shutts, Board Liaison & Central Regional Director, Gloria Graham, IBEC Chair and Barbara Strain, Past President’s Council Advisor for Strategic Alliances.
More information about HIAC appointments, structure, meeting logistics and governance will follow in subsequent eNewsletters.
