Meet AAAHC Officers and Board of Directors

Board of Directors work in close collaboration with AAAHC leadership

Our volunteer elected Board of Directors operate according to the AAAHC bylaws and work in close collaboration with the AAAHC President & CEO to set strategic direction, provide necessary resources, and make key decisions that the AAAHC staff then implement to meet the needs of our accredited facilities and those seeking accreditation.

AAAHC Board of Directors are elected by members of the Engaged Constituency.
