Health Leadership,” conducted in collaboration
with the Pacific Coast College
Health Association.We’re glad that you
have joined us in San Diego for five days
of outstanding educational programming,
all by the warmth of the Pacific Ocean.
You have taken advantage of a wonderful
opportunity to earn continuing education
credits, participate in key committee work,
network with colleagues, and discuss the
latest strategies and research.
ACHA recognizes the importance of
leaders and leadership development within
your community, on your campus, at state
and national levels, and within ACHA.
This year’s meeting presents more than

issues that require your effective leadership
skills and collaborative efforts.
The meeting also features a continuation
of our Foundations of Leadership Program;
important section, affiliate, and committee
meetings; and several special social events,
including the San Diego Fiesta. Be sure to

products and services in our Exhibit Hall,
which also houses the Silent Auction and
Poster Sessions.
Our host hotel, the Town and Country

hope that you will take time to discover
our host city of San Diego, known throughout
the world for its harbor and attractions:

you can choose from a range of water
