Member-Driven, Member-LedOpportunities abound for involvement in THA leadership roles. Every policy position and action taken by THA is the result of member involvement and input at many levels. THA truly is a member-centric organization where your voice can be heard:
- The hospital-elected, 30-member Board of Trustees represents every region of the state and all ownership types, ensuring that all member constituencies are well represented in top-level discussions. THA’s organizational structure further reaches out to members through a structure of councils, committees and regional representatives.
- To aid in developing strong, united positions on public policy issues, 60 individuals serve on the Council on Policy Development. As the Association’s most influential group, the COPD provides an arena for discussion and debate of issues before making recommendations to the THA Board. Council members include representatives from the Association’s constituency sections, as well as chief executive officers, chief nursing and financial officers, physicians, trustees and attorneys.
- Policy committees composed of hospital technical experts provide input and guidance to the COPD on issues such as managed care, billing, Medicaid, quality care, workforce and more.
- In addition, numerous membership groups serve as a conduit of information between members and the THA board on issues relevant to specific areas of interests and regions of the state.
- And, board-level committees are appointed to oversee Association business on everything from bylaws to long-term care.
THA’s grassroots involvement ensures a forum for dialogue among all Texas hospitals and health systems – and unlimited opportunities for members to be involved and informed. If you want to better understand the issues impacting Texas hospitals, and work toward common solutions, there’s a role for you in THA.
