Executive Summit

All healthcare HR executives are encouraged to apply. ASHHRA receives many qualified applicants and expanded the summit into two sessions to accommodate as many leaders in the field as possible. ASHHRA’s goal is to diversify the attendee pool. Selection will be based on geographic location, system/organization, region/market, site/location and specialty. Preference will be given to ASHHRA members.

If you attended a previous summit, you have already been identified as a high-value healthcare HR executive. You are encouraged to apply to attend again and/or refer a colleague. However, given the limited number of available spots and our desire to engage as a diverse pool of executives and thought leaders, an invitation to attend is not guaranteed.

Yes, we encourage you to apply. Please note that your organization may have zero, one or two attendees selected. Should there be two attendees selected from the same organization, each person will be assigned to a different session.

Expect an intimate group of 20 to 24 of your fellow healthcare HR leaders. Attendees will be joined by ASHHRA staff and representatives from sponsoring companies.

Attendees will be hosted at the luxurious Alida Hotel in Savannah, Georgia, where much of the summit programming will also take place. The event will begin with a welcome reception on the first night, one followed by an educational dinner with one of our sponsors. Day two will consist of networking, roundtables, sponsored education with meals, and a social outing in the evening. The event will conclude on day three over breakfast at The Alida, to give attendees one more opportunity to connect with final discussions.

The summit is a unique opportunity to take a brief break from your daily routine while growing your professional connections in the historic city of Savannah. As an attendee last year put it, the summit is a “[g]reat opportunity to network with peers and truly problem solve with ideas for solutions back home.” 

ASHHRA will make reservations for all selected participants at The Alida and cover room and tax for two nights.

If you would like to extend your stay beyond the two nights covered by ASHHRA, you may contact The Alida hotel’s Sales Coordinator, Steve Kaczor (912-715-7000) to make your request.

ASHHRA will make reservations for attendees at The Alida and cover  room and tax for two nights. All meals will be provided beginning with the welcome reception on the first day to the breakfast on the third day. Attendees will be provided with an expense reimbursement form for travel expenses, for which ASHHRA will cover up to $500 for airfare, ground transportation, parking, etc. Attendees will be responsible for all other incidentals beyond these covered expenses.

Yes, you have the option to extend your stay at The Alida. Each summit session is adjacent to a weekend, giving attendees an opportunity to extend their visit to Savanah before or after their session. The hotel will make every effort to accommodate these extensions, including offering the group rate, however, this is not guaranteed. If you would like to extend your stay beyond the two nights covered by ASHHRA, you may contact The Alida hotel.
