ACHD’s 73rd Annual Meeting

Speaker Spotlight

Your Role in Governance: Why it’s Important not to Text or Sleep through that Entire Finance Presentation

Presented by Tom Scaglione, CPA, MBA

Join us at ACHD’s 73^rd Annual Meeting in San Diego, September 24-26, where we will be focused on promoting good governance and trends in the field. Wednesday’s agenda will feature a general session on Why it’s Important not to Text or Sleep through that Entire Finance Presentation. Finance presenters can get carried away with their presentations to elected officials, but, as a healthcare district CEO or trustee, there are some things that should capture your attention.

As advocates investing in the health and wellness of our constituents, and as stewards of the people’s money, we need to know and address the most important financial issues of our districts. Participate in this session and gain the confidence you need to know about your finances and how to effectively communicate to your peers, regulatory agencies, staff, and the people you serve.
