CHIME Board Nominations Open June 19


6.18.2019
Cletis Earle, CHCIO, Chair, Foundation Board; SVP & CIO, Information Technology Kaledia Health

The CHIME Foundation will begin accepting nominations, starting June 19, for one representative from a Foundation firm to serve on the Board beginning Jan. 1, 2020. I encourage anyone with a vision for how CHIME members and our partners in industry can work together to improve patient care to apply for the seat.  

We often talk about how the CIO’s role has evolved over the years. So have the many companies that support our healthcare organizations. In my half year as the Foundation Board chair we have seen numerous advanced and emerging technologies enter the healthcare marketplace. In addition, several corporations that traditionally served other sectors recently have taken an interest in healthcare.  

The CHIME Foundation reflects this diversity, a diversity that has helped to make our healthcare ecosystem robust and rich. Working with my fellow board members has helped me appreciate how deep and broad our industry has become, and how important it is for our CIOs and our Foundation partners to collaborate and educate each other.  

The CHIME Foundation Board is responsible for setting a long-term strategy to sustain CHIME and the CHIME Foundation, a task that calls for vision and creativity. Every one of you offers valuable perspective on the challenges we face and strategies to move our industry forward. Serving on the board is a great opportunity to learn, lead and have a lasting impact. To participate, you must be from a current Premier, Standard or Associate CHIME Foundation firm holding membership for at least one year, and you must be an active member, for instance, by participating in events such as CIO forums, focus groups, College LIVEs and surveys.  

The nomination process will close on July 19. To learn more, or to submit a nomination, click here. If you have any questions, please contact the Foundation staff at [email protected] or call (734) 665-0000.
