Council on Policy Development

The COPD plays a key role in developing legislative and regulatory public policy recommendations to address issues of interest or concern. Its 54 voting members are elected by the THA Board of Trustees to three-year terms, and provide broad input from all sectors of the association’s membership. Voting members include:

• 36 hospital/health system executives;
• 3 emerging leaders in hospital administration;
• 3 physicians;
• 3 attorneys;
• 3 chief financial officers;
