Message from the President

2012 has arrived and Bob Walker AIA, FACHA is relinquishing his role as president of the College.  Bob has done an outstanding job as president.  He opened a number of new avenues for the College to expand its mission by collaborating with other organizations.  He also left us with a strategic plan to guide our next few years.

 

I assume the role of president with a great feeling of respect for my predecessors and a good deal of humility. The American College of Healthcare Architects represents almost 400 of the best and brightest healthcare architects in the country. Our certificate holders set the pace for defining healthcare environments and for the organization of healthcare services.  As we go forward, all of us need to understand the implications of our changing health care system so we can continue to provide leadership to the country in our areas of expertise.

 

I believe the College's role this next year should be primarily focused on two things: First, to continue to enhance the educational offerings the College provides to our certificate holders and others. Second, to enhance the visibility and importance of our certificate holders with clients, regulators and the profession.

 

We have a terrific Board of Regents and I am excited about working with them and with all our certificate holders as we move forward.  My best wishes for a fruitful new year.

 

W. H. (Tib) Tusler, FAIA, FACHA, Emeritus

2012 President
