What Delegates are Saying...

General / Overall comments:

I now feel as a new board member to be more effective, you have to become more informed about our health care system and how it affects our own hospital and community, and by attending these types of seminars and others they help to better educate us to become more effective and useful board members.
Excellent for any Board member.
Excellent range of qualified speakers.
Lots of good ideas and information to take away and share...
Great information and good idea's to bring back to the board and start working with.
The ability to network with other Board Chairs was priceless.

Essentials Certificate in Health Care Governance

Being a new trustee, this provided a very good overview and was presented well. It will make good reference material for future use.
As a first time trustee, I found this to be very informative, the pace was good and there was ample time to ask questions.

Leadership Certificate for Hospital Board Chairs

This was a very helpful Conference that will make my Chair position much easier as I will be better equipped to do the job.
The networking opportunities and discussion with other registrants were great. The instructors (Shannon MacDonald and Shelley Rosenbaum) did a good job of facilitating the open discussion.
The mix of presentation formats, written materials, discussions and networking was very good. It was the best OHA education that I have attended.
Excellent Program. Content was relative to the skills and knowledge required by hospital board chairs. Well organized and presented by professional facilitators. I liked the videos that shared ideas and experience from people in the board roles.

Board's Role in Quality Oversight and Improvement

FANTASTIC!!! Would highly recommend it to every person in my organization and on the Board to attend. As a quality coordinator I was completely 'pumped' to get started on strengthening our quality programs at the hospital.
All speakers did excellent presentations. I will bring a lot back to my board on these topics and hope to start some.

Certificate for Implementing the Guide to Good Governance

An excellent program that fresh and experienced board members can benefit from. I liked breaking into individual boards to examine how we could do things better. It helped to identify "local" areas for development as a board versus keeping the whole day general.
This session was very informative, especially for new Trustees. All Trustees should be encouraged to attend a session such as this one every few years. Refresher would be good for all of us.

Health Care Governance Forum

I thought topics were very pertinent to the governance issues faced by hospital boards today. I also appreciated the variety of speakers.
The conference was very informative and provided valuable information on governance.

Building a Culture of Good Governance

I enjoyed the mix of presentation, group activities, videos etc…
The interactive part, role playing was excellent.
I found the day very worthwhile. The speaker / facilitator was excellent. I particularly appreciated the board cultural assessment tool.

Conference for Board Finance Committee Members

A very good conference with a very skilled speaker element. The subjects presented were relevant and of great interest with a good variety of topics. I learned many things. Keep up the good work.
