If you're still on the fence, you can join a FACHE Overview Webinar later this year to learn more about the requirements, the process, set expectations around the Board of Governors Exam, and decide whether 2023 is the right time to pursue your Fellow credential. The webinar will give you the opportunity to ask ACHE staff any questions you might have about the FACHE process. The next webinar is September 14. You can register for the webinar here.
