🎉 Meet the Board 🎉 Washington State Healthcare Leaders Association (WSHLA)

We’re proud to introduce the 2026-2027 WSHLA Board of Trustees! The new board term officially began on May 21, following ratification by our members during the Annual Membership Business Meeting which took place at the PNW Medical Management Conference in Vancouver, WA.

At WSHLA, our members are the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re excited to highlight the healthcare professionals who have stepped up to serve—leaders who work in healthcare just like you, and who volunteer their time out of a deep commitment to our shared values: education, collaboration, integrity, legislative advocacy, and meaningful networking.

Founded in 1956 by a small group of passionate practice managers, WSHLA has grown into a thriving statewide community of healthcare leaders, administrators, executives, and professionals. Whether you’re new to healthcare or a seasoned expert, this board is here to support and represent you.

We believe in the power of relationships, the strength of local community, and that together—we are stronger. https://www.thewshla.org/
