Thomas C. Dolan Executive
Diversity Program Scholars
Selected
Six scholars have been selected for
the inaugural Thomas C. Dolan
Executive Diversity Program. The
year-long program will support the
scholars—a cohort of mid- and
senior-level careerists who aspire to
higher leadership roles—and will
provide specialized curriculum
opportunities addressing barriers in
career attainment and developing
executive presence.

The Thomas C. Dolan Executive
Diversity Program was established
by the Foundation of the American
College of Healthcare Executives to
honor Dolan, who served as president and CEO of ACHE from
1991–2013, for his long-standing
service to the profession of healthcare leadership and to further his
strong commitment to achieving
greater diversity among senior
healthcare leaders. Scholars will
benefit from ongoing, one-on-one
interaction with a specially selected
mentor and participation in formal
leadership education and career
assessments. They will receive full
tuition to attend ACHE’s most
notable educational offerings,
including ACHE’s 2014 Congress
on Healthcare Leadership and 2014
Executive Programs. Self-awareness,
critical leadership skills and confidence will prepare scholars for their
future roles.

selected scholars and the Executive
Diversity Program, visit ache.org/
