Financial contribution will make the ELM program more affordable for membership participation.
SUDBURY, MA, May 3, 2013 – AHRA: The Association for Medical Imaging Management is proud to announce that, as part of their leadership pledge to AHRA's Education Foundation Expanding Excellence Campaign, GE Healthcare is funding a grant to the ELM program. The grant will be used to reduce tuition from $2,250 to $1,695. Registration for the 2013-14 class is now open and is limited to the first 16 applicants.
“GE Healthcare’s support of ELM is a very big win for our membership and the AHRA’s mission of supporting leadership development,” said Carlos Vasquez, AHRA President. “Any opportunity to enable quality, affordable programming like ELM is something we strive for as the nation’s leading association for medical imaging leadership.”
The objective of the ELM program is to enable participants to grow in management roles and support their professional development as effective leaders. The upcoming program will start at the AHRA Annual Meeting & Exposition being held in Minneapolis, MN from July 28-31. It begins with an introductory session where participants will learn from the outgoing ELM class as they present their achievements from a year of ELM project work. Coursework then focuses on the following modules:
- Strategic Management
- Finance, Management Accounting and Corporate Finance
- Organizational Skills, with Lean Six-Sigma Operations Management
- Leadership Skills and Staff Development
- Marketing Management
These sessions will combine learning presentations, discussion topics, and hands on workshops in small break-out groups. Following the launch, participants will engage with program faculty for monthly mentoring sessions throughout the year.
“The goal for ELM is each participant to grow as a leader while delivering tangible results back to their respective employers by tackling a specific challenge through the process,” said David Waldron, ELM Program Facilitator and CEO of Traction Business Development. “It’s very rewarding for me personally to see ELM participants grow throughout the year and take their leadership skills and knowledge base to the next level. At the end of the day, that’s what ELM is all about.”
