Nichols, AIA, FACHA It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 ACHA Annual Luncheon. Our organization continues to thrive through our emphasis on certification of architects in the specialty of healthcare design. Through our efforts to support our certification committee and exam committee to maintain our standards of certification, we strengthen our position and visibility as a thought leader within the healthcare community. Our Advanced Educational Network Committee has continued their focus on providing opportunities for all Certificants to provide ACHA with a database of white papers and presentation topics that can be made available to all those who wish to gain insight from us. Our Communication and Outreach Committee has developed a first class website to provide all our Certificants (and Clients) with timely information about our organization and trends in the healthcare design field. Moving forward, they will continue to encourage all of us to engage in dialogue through social media. Our Candidate program is proving to be an effective means to bring emerging healthcare design professionals into the College at an earlier time within their career. This is vital to the long-term viability and health of our organization. We celebrate the new Certificants to ACHA as part of our agenda today! Financially we are strong, and our Board of Regents continues to focus on efforts to manage our activities with a self-sustaining focus. All these efforts are made by you, our Certificants. If you feel there is a place for your service within one of our Committees, please contact us. Your experience in serving will undoubtedly prove to be rich in satisfaction for you, as well as support our great organization. We thank many of you who were responsible for the founding of ACHA, celebrate our new Certificants, and recognize the continued efforts of all of you who take part in providing healthcare design that promotes the well-being of all who provide care and those who benefit from their quality care. 4 ACHA 2016 Annual Report HEALTHARCHITECTS.ORG Advanced Educational Network Committee (AENC) The Advanced Educational Network Committee is committed to being a resource for our certificate holders as well as the general public on healthcare design. We collaborate at regional and national levels, providing knowledge expertise through a speakers bureau as well as a database of articles, white papers and videos that can be accessed via the ACHA website. Our 2016 projects included: Showcasing Our Expertise The committee solicited white papers from our body of certificate holders and is in the process of selecting papers to promote with ACHA branding. The committee continued the program of developing promotional material with the goal of content focused on subjects of interest at national events. Partnering to Provide Speakers The committee defined processes to support the goal of providing content expertise and speakers for national and regional venues.

Fellowship in the ACHA is awarded to an ACHA certificant whose career reflects exceptional competence and design excellence in the healthcare architecture specialty, resulting in a demonstrable and significant influence on the profession. It is awarded to a select few who meet the high standard established by the FACHA jury during its annual review of submissions from those seeking elevation to Fellow. The certificant seeking elevation to the Council of Fellows prepares the package of supporting materials that will be reviewed by the FACHA jury. Since the founding of the College, 64 individuals have been designated FACHA; 49 of those are also designated FAIA. The Legacy Project Award, first given in 2014, is given to a healthcare project at least 15 years old that has had a lasting and important influence on the design of healthcare facilities throughout the United States, and even beyond. Projects typically represent a combination of several things: a facility design capable of adjusting to the changing physical demands of healthcare environments over time, a leadership culture that embraced changes in healthcare technology and care models, and successful innovation on such a scale that the project became influential over other important healthcare projects as it matured and evolved. Projects are nominated for the Legacy Project Award using a comprehensive package of detailed supporting materials prepared by an ACHA certificant connected to the project. The award is announced for the first time publically at the ASHE PDC event in the spring of each year, but because the protracted award cycle of jury selection, solicitation of projects, material preparation, site visits, jury deliberation, award ceremony scripting, etc., the award cycle begins in the fall each year, roughly 15-18 months in advance of the announcement. Work is currently underway for the 2017 Legacy Project Award. The Lifetime Achievement Award is given by the former Presidents of the ACHA to an individual whose career as a whole has demonstrated both extraordinary achievement and far-reaching influence on the profession. It can be given to anyone; the recipient does not have to be an ACHA certificant. The nature of their influence on the healthcare architecture profession can vary, including design excellence, service to the profession and to the College, or even publication success on a variety of scales. Individuals must be nominated and a package of supporting information must be prepared for review by the former Presidents of the ACHA. 7 ACHA 2016 Annual Report HEALTHARCHITECTS.ORG FELLOWSHIP COMMITTEE CHAIR James Diaz, FAIA, FACHA, Kaplan McLaughlin Diaz, San Francisco, CA JURY
