Planning for the 2025 Partners of WHA Conference and Annual Meeting - A Work in Progress
The yearly conventionhas been a time to connect with other volunteers and a time for learning through informational workshops, hospital displays, and dynamic speakers. The CEO panel has given us current information on issues facing hospitals and the health care industry. In recent years, however, convention attendance has been declining. With unpredictable decreasing attendance, Partners has incurred costs for contracted hotel rooms that were not used. In 2024, a survey of Partners volunteers about the convention format was carried out. After reviewing and discussing the results, the Partners board formed a committee to discuss ideas for updating future convention formats.
​
Based on the work of the committee the followibng changes will be made starting on 2025:
• Referring to the event as “Partners of WHA Conference and Annual Meeting."
• Secure a venue that would offer a courtesy hold on rooms, releasing the hold at a certain date so Partners would
not be billed for rooms not reserved.
• Decreasing the length of the event to two days and one overnight.
• Having vendors present on the second day of the event.
Programming will continue to include an opening speaker, workshops, Wave Awards, the CEO panel discussion, Partners annual business meeting, vendors, and a silent auction. Future discussions by the committee will further develop the new format of the event.
