Making Headlines....

Vote on Your New Professional Identity Statement

CDHA’s Professional Identity Statement was developed in 2014 based on member submissions, focus group discussions, and voting. It is a succinct, broad declaration designed to unite and inspire the profession and express the essence and value of who we are and what we do. Now that more than 10 years have passed, we have undertaken a review to ensure the statement still resonates with members as a suitable representation of the profession. We have conducted several polls and consultations on the overall message and specific phrasing and have developed two final options for member consideration. Please take a moment to let us know your preference by July 31.
