ACHD invites you to join us at our 71st Annual Meeting: Moving Mountains Together.

This year, the Annual Meeting will be held September 13-15, 2023 at the Everline Resort and Spa, in beautiful Olympic Valley.

Attending ACHD's 71st Annual Meeting is a great way to stay connected with the broader healthcare district community. Like last year, we will offer a pre-conference Governance Day (Wednesday, September 13) focused on training elements previously offered at our Leadership Academy. Thursday, September 14 and Friday, September 15 will be dedicated to the ACHD 71st Annual Meeting, which includes our ACHD Annual Awards reception.

Learning Outcomes

Attendees at our Annual Meeting will:

  • Learn about important topics varying from board development to the future of healthcare.
  • Foster relationships through shared experiences with your district team and peers.
  • Hear about healthcare district initiatives that might be successfully duplicated in your community.
  • Learn about new labor laws impacting public employers.
