Celebrate 20 Years! Sign Up for the CAHL Annual Awards Today!

This year, the California Association of Healthcare Leaders (CAHL) proudly celebrates 20 years of advancing healthcare leadership across Northern and Central California. What began in 2006 as the merger of three healthcare leadership chapters has grown into one of the nation's largest ACHE chapters, serving nearly 2,000 members through leadership development, mentorship, educational programming, and professional networking. Join us on August 28 at the Annual Awards Ceremony as we celebrate two decades of empowering healthcare leaders and the volunteers whose dedication has made this remarkable legacy possible.

Reinventing Your Professional Brand After a Career Pivot

Thinking about a career pivot or redefining your professional brand? This article reminds us that career pivots aren't about starting over—they're about recognizing and communicating the transferable skills and value you already bring. Read this insightful piece to learn how to clarify your strengths, translate them to a new environment, and demonstrate your impact with confidence.

How the Coastal Local Programming Committee Is Advancing CAHL’s Legacy Through Education, Service, and Collaboration

As CAHL celebrates 20 years of advancing healthcare leadership, the Coastal Local Programming Committee continues to foster education, collaboration, and service through impactful programs and community partnerships. During the first half of 2026, the committee hosted leadership development events, partnered with the Northern California Chapter of NAHSE on a health equity program, and collaborated with the JEDI Committee to volunteer at Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. Looking ahead, the committee remains committed to delivering innovative educational experiences, strengthening professional connections, and supporting the next generation of healthcare leaders.

Dialogue and Dinner event with UC Davis Health

CAHL members gathered at UC Davis Health for another engaging Dialogue & Dinner, featuring an insightful panel discussion with healthcare leaders who shared how UC Davis Health is advancing community-centered care through expanded access, local partnerships, education, and innovation. Panelists also reflected on their personal leadership journeys and the unique opportunities and challenges of academic medicine, providing valuable insights for healthcare leaders at every stage of their careers. Thank you to UC Davis Health, our distinguished speakers, and everyone who helped coordinate a successful and inspiring evening

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.
