Emerging Health Care EVS Leaders
The Emerging Leaders action team is made up of AHE members under 45 who are looking to attract, engage, retain and encourage young and new EVS professionals. We want to create specific content and opportunities to empower a new generation of EVS leaders that will grow and retain the membership and expand the influence of AHE.
