American College of Healthcare Executives of New Jersey (ACHE-NJ)

What American College of Healthcare Executives of New Jersey (ACHE-NJ) does

ACHE-NJ (American College of Healthcare Executives of New Jersey) is the New Jersey chartered chapter of ACHE National, a non-profit professional society serving senior healthcare executives across the state. Its core function is to provide its 1,200+ members — primarily hospital and health-system leaders — with continuing education, professional credentialing support (toward the FACHE designation), peer networking, and career-development programming. Over 25 years of operation, the chapter has built a catalog of 50+ annual programs spanning in-person and hybrid formats, governed by a 27-member board, 17 committee chairs, and a 100+ volunteer base, with no traditional W-2 employees.

The chapter is operationally volunteer-run, with revenue generated from three streams: (i) membership-related allocations remitted by ACHE National to its chartered chapter, (ii) corporate sponsorships from New Jersey health systems organized into Diamond ($7,000/annum), Platinum, and Gold tiers, and (iii) event/program fees. Named Diamond-tier sponsors include Atlantic Health System, Hackensack Meridian Health, RWJBarnabas Health, and Symmetry Workforce Solutions, with Platinum/Gold support from Virtua Health, Cooper University Health Care, Inspira Health, CarePoint Health, and Valley Health System. Disclosed event pricing includes a Golf Outing ($200 individual, $800 foursome, $400 twosome, $150 Sip and Swing, $65 Networking Lunch) and multi-tier annual sponsorship packages.

The chapter operates interest groups in clinical leadership, Healthcare IT & Digital Transformation, Early Careerists, Women in Healthcare, and Diversity & Inclusion. Strategic activity in 2024–2026 includes receipt of the 2024 ACHE Chapter Merit Award, adoption of a 2025–2028 strategic plan, a 2026 presidential transition (Derrick J. Hutton, FACHE), and a 2026 ACHE Regent appointment (Anamika R. Desai). The chapter also runs the Wishes Come True charitable program (since 1991) and maintains a community-facing philanthropic channel through its annual Golf Outing. ACHE-NJ is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.
