SUMMARY:2023 ACHE of North Texas Summit/Convocation
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the 2023 ACHE North Texas Annual Summit. In years past\, this event has been called a Convocation. This year\, we are enhancing the event with a new\, more dynamic format\, so we’ve adjusted the name to reflect that advancement. We are also encouraging attendees to bring their significant others as the format and program are designed for a wider audience. \nWhen you arrive\, you’ll be given your nametag and ushered into a spacious area where all attendees can gather\, socialize\, and network. We will have a cash bar and complimentary food stations located throughout the venue for you to get the beverages and food of your choice. We will have both high-top and sit-down tables for your use. We encourage everyone to socialize as broadly as possible to take advantage of this more relaxed and inviting venue. This format replaces the formal sit-down dinner to provide ample time and space for attendees to mix and mingle. \nInstead of an extended educational program\, we will have a series of three 10-minute TED-talk-style presentations that will be scattered throughout the night. Our featured speakers will be authors Lee Colan and Julie Davis-Colan and Lenetra King. Lee and Julie wrote a book called Healthy Leadership: How to Thrive in the New World of Work. Lenetra wrote a book entitled Unwritten Insights: A Career Playbook for People of Color. Lee and Julie will speak about principles of healthy leadership\, and Lenetra will address how those principles apply to leaders of color. You will be invited to pause your conversations briefly during their discussions\, then you can return to your mixing when they are finished. All attendees will receive free signed copies of Lee and Julie’s book. We appreciate their generous offer of support to ACHE. \n  \nWe hope you are excited about our new\, dynamic format. At ACHE of North Texas\, we will continue innovating to ensure our events are of the highest quality and are the most engaging and educational for you.
