Mentor Spotlight:

Allison Lam

Allison Lam shares how the CAHL Formal Mentor Program creates meaningful connections that remind leaders they don’t have to navigate their journeys alone. She encourages emerging leaders to seek support, embrace mentorship, and learn from those who came before them. For experienced leaders, mentorship is an opportunity to share wisdom and strengthen the next generation of healthcare leadership.

Volunteer and Member Spotlight: Dr. Deborah Ellis

Dr. Deborah Ellis shares how volunteering with CAHL has allowed her to give back, build meaningful connections, and support the next generation of healthcare leaders. Her journey reinforces the power of showing up, contributing, and serving others.

Interview Nightmares: Major Pitfalls to Avoid When Interviewing for Your Next Healthcare Leadership Role

Amber Campbell, CEO of Ambulatory Services at Sutter Health Greater Central Valley, highlights common interview mistakes that can derail even the strongest healthcare leadership candidates. From inadequate research and unclear results to emotional reactivity and poor professionalism, preparation goes far beyond rehearsing answers. Her advice: show up informed, strategic, self-aware, and ready to demonstrate your authentic leadership.

Make the Most of Your Membership

Your CAHL membership is more than a professional affiliation—it's an opportunity to grow as a leader while helping others do the same. The value of membership isn't simply in joining; it's in actively engaging with the people, programs, and opportunities that make our chapter thrive.

Whether you're looking to expand your network, find a mentor, pursue your FACHE® credential, develop new leadership skills, or serve on a committee, CAHL offers countless ways to invest in your professional journey. The more you engage, the more you'll gain—and the more you'll have to give back to others.

As members, we also have a responsibility to strengthen our healthcare leadership community. Consider inviting a colleague to attend an event, encouraging an emerging leader to become involved, volunteering your time as a mentor, or sharing your own experiences with those who are just beginning their leadership journey. The future of healthcare leadership depends on leaders who are willing to open doors for others.
CAHL is only as strong as the members who show up, contribute, and bring others along with them. Your involvement has the power to create meaningful connections, foster professional growth, and inspire the next generation of healthcare leaders.

This year, challenge yourself to take one additional step—whether it's attending a new event, joining a committee, mentoring a colleague, or introducing someone to the CAHL community. Together, we can continue building a stronger and more connected healthcare leadership network.
