How do I become a member of CHEF?
CHEF (Chicago Health Executives Forum) is actually the local independent chapter for the metropolitan Chicago area of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). When one becomes a member of ACHE (www.ache.org), they automatically become a “member” of CHEF. The person would receive emails about upcoming events, have access to information on the ever-evolving chapter website and receive the chapter newsletters.
Non-ACHE members may participate in most CHEF events, however at a slightly higher registration fee. Joining ACHE, and thus receiving all benefits of the national and local organizations, is a great way to support your career in health care.
If you wish to be just be notified of upcoming CHEF events, please contact the chapter office via the website at www.chefchicago.org or call (630) 832-1300, to have your contact information added to our distribution list. We hope to see you at future events!
UPDATE!
