We had the pleasure of hearing from Kim Askew at Scottish Rite for Children, who shared the inspiring reasons behind her journey to becoming a CHTL.

"While trustees bring all kinds of backgrounds and unique expertise to their service, the healthcare industry is a very specialized one that requires knowledge of the industry, its regulatory structure, compliance, and governance. Becoming certified has afforded me the opportunity to learn more about the healthcare industry, to meet other trustees from around the State, and to become a more empowered trustee."
