Our Board
The NCHSE Board of Directors includes representation from health professions, hospitals and other healthcare employers, education, professional associations and state education agencies. The diverse perspectives of the NCHSE Board of Directors in a turf-neutral environment under a non-profit umbrella, opens the doors to innovation and quality results-oriented programs and products.
The Board of Directors’ members’ responsibilities are to bring suggestions and issues from the membership group they represent to the Board for consideration or action, assist with setting priorities for NCHSE pursuits, and implementation of the strategic plan.
Our Executive Council
The responsibility of the Executive Council is to manage the business and strategic priorities of the organization. Elected officers of NCHSE constitute the Executive Council. The Executive Council is comprised of the Chair, Chair-Elect, Past Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. Membership Category Representatives also serve on the Executive Council.
Executive Council
Each year the Executive Council comes together for strategic planning and decision-making for the National Consortium for Health Science Education, according to the mission, vision, and values of our organization. As council members represent various areas of industry across the United States, our team meets both virtually and several face-to-face meetings per year.
