BY ASAHP PRESIDENT PHYLLIS KING
A Blueprint for the Future (2020 – 2024) of the Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions
I am pleased to announce a new Strategic Plan is in place that articulates ASAHP’s priorities and will focus our energy and resources to best serve the organization in accomplishing its mission of advancing health through interprofessional collaboration. This plan includes a shared vision of ASAHP being THE source for interprofessional collaboration to improve health.
Values driving our actions include quality education, interprofessional collaboration, connecting education and health, innovation, leadership and diversity. Five strategic areas of activity have been identified, each led by a board member with a committee structure, to achieve ASAHP’s mission and vision:
Communications, public relations and marketing – Andrew Butler
Leadership development – Deborah Larsen
Education – Ces Thompson
Partnerships, alliances and advocacy – Teresa Conner-Kerr
Research, member services and programs – Brian Shulman
Over the coming months you will receive more detailed information on the activities and metrics each committee is employing and how you can be involved. Member benefits of networking, professional development, research and development, the institutional profile survey, the leadership development program, representation on the Federal level and in other health organizations, and publications are retained with an eye toward adding even more value for members. Rest assured you have a dedicated leadership team excited to shape the future of ASAHP and adapt to ever changing environments with you.
