gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, etcetera).

2. Choose an Award of Chapter Excellence Indicator to stratify by the data that you collect in Step 1:

Education & Networking Performance

#ChapterChallenge Case in Point

Background: ACHENJ is New Jersey's premier healthcare administration association, with over 800 healthcare executives who lead hospitals, healthcare systems, and other healthcare organizations. As a chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives, ACHENJ advances its members and healthcare management excellence by providing local-level access to networking, education, and career development opportunities for a diverse community of early, mid, and senior-level careerists. Through such efforts, ACHENJ offers a pathway to the prestigious FACHE® credential, signifying board certification in healthcare management. Increase the collection of chapter member sociodemographic data (e.g. age, veteran status, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, etcetera): In March 2018, ACHENJ used preferred salutations to infer the genders of 824 non-student members. Eighty six percent of members self-reported gender-specific salutations (“Mr.” or “Ms.”). An internet search was conducted to identify the remaining 14% of members for whom salutations were mostly gender neutral (e.g. Dr, Colonel, Colleague, etcetera). Choose an Award of Chapter Excellence Indicator to stratify by the data that you collect in Step 1: Advancement of Eligible Members Determine if a disparity exists in the Indicator that you chose in Step 2. If yes, design and implement a plan to address this gap. If no, return to Step 2 and choose a new Indicator: Chapter members were stratified by gender (male, female, other) and Fellow status (fellow, non-fellow). 33% of men had advanced to Fellow versus 23% of women. The association between gender and Fellow status was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Chapter members were also stratified by C-Suite status (C-Suite, not C-Suite). Men were more than twice as likely as women to self-report being in the C-Suite. The gender gap between men and women who had advanced to Fellow, however, was reduced by 30%. To address these gaps in Fellow status and ensure that its women members are best positioned to enter the C-Suite, ACHENJ has announced the launch of “#MyFellowWomen,” the Chapter’s first ever women-focused advancement initiative. #MyFellowWomen sets forth a vision for advancing at least 20 women members by 2020. Other ACHE chapters are invited to participate. For media inquiries or to join the #MyFellowWomen campaign: Alex J. Puma ACHENJ Presidential Officer, 2017 - 2020 chapterchallenge@achenj.com
