To Leaders in Healthcare in British Columbia — Yes we can! The future of our healthcare system is in our hands, minds and hearts. On behalf of the organizing committee for the HealthCare Leaders’ Association of British Columbia’s Annual Fall Conference, we would like to invite you to join us on October 19 and 20, 2009 in Vancouver for a conference focusing on leadership strategies, complex networks and organizational reform. LEADING HEALTHCARE: INSPIRE AND ACHIEVE Invest two days of your time this fall to meet with colleagues across the full healthcare continuum to discuss new ideas that can transform the situation and make us thrive in spite of doomsday scenarios and economic challenges. We guarantee that you will come back inspired and re-tooled to tackle seemingly unsolvable issues. The program continues to be unique in healthcare leadership conferences — we hope you take advantage of the opportunity to participate and refresh and revitalize your leadership skills. Leaders from all areas of healthcare and related industries will attend this two-day conference. We have a great line-up of presenters again in 2009. Our international and local keynote speakers and concurrent session presenters are all experts in their field and provide a variety of perspectives and experiences within healthcare and diverse business fields. They will be covering a unique set of topics and providing you with leadership strategies, experiences and thought-provoking concepts to integrate into your day-to-day operations and personal growth applications. In addition, The Hon. Kevin Falcon, Minister of Health Services, will open the conference. We are particularly grateful to our planning committee, advisory panel and the Networks Management Symposium Co-Chairs, George Eisler and Ron Lindstrom, for providing input to the program and invited speakers. The Networks Management Symposium (invitation only) will follow our conference and have been invited to join the HealthCare Leader’s conference as well. One of the challenges confronting public, nonprofit and the private sectors is the creation and effective management of inter-organizational networks. Managers, clinicians and researchers who wish to better understand network concepts and strategies will benefit from concurrent sessions addressing these issues and will learn about leadership and management in the context of inter-organizational collaboration and networks. Please take a moment to review the program. Register at the Early Bird rate prior to September 15, 2009 — we anticipate the conference to sell out once again this year. We also invite you to join us at the HCLABC Gala Dinner on Monday night, featuring André Picard, public health reporter to The Globe and Mail and author of a number of books on healthcare. We look forward to your participation with us at this exciting conference as we lead healthcare innovation in British Columbia and endeavour to inspire and achieve in challenging times.
