Valued Voice

WHA is accepting nominations for its annual Distinguished Service Award and Trustee Award. These important awards recognize those who display leadership, dedication and professionalism to their community or the Association.

You now have an opportunity to nominate someone in your region, your hospital or on your Board of Directors who deserves such an honor.

• The Distinguished Service Award is presented to a senior health care executive who has made an exemplary commitment to WHA, his/her hospital and the communities he/she serves.
• The Trustee Award honors a trustee of a WHA member organization who has made an exemplary commitment to his/her community and to the organization on whose board he/she serves.

Administrators, trustees, senior managers, nurse leaders, volunteers and others are encouraged to nominate someone to receive one of these awards. For more information, please contact WHA Executive Assistant Kim Drone.

The Nominating Committee will also recommend candidates for new WHA Board positions. WHA members who are interested in serving—or would like to nominate someone—for an At-Large Board seat, Chair-Elect position or AHA Delegate role should contact either WHA President and CEO Kyle O’Brien or WHA Nominating Committee Chair David Hartberg. 

Please submit nominations for both the awards and WHA Board of Directors no later than Monday, September 8 to Kim Drone at kdrone@wha.org.
