A Message From The Chapter President

Greetings NAHSE–DFW Members and Friends,

Welcome to the National Association of Health Services Executives (N.A.H.S.E.) Dallas–Fort Worth Chapter. On behalf of our Executive Team, Board of Directors, and engaged members, I am proud to welcome you and share the purpose-driven work of our chapter.

Our DFW chapter represents N.A.H.S.E. across the region and includes a diverse community of professionals—from graduate students and early- to mid-careerists to senior leaders and C-suite executives. What connects us all is a shared commitment to advancing equitable access to healthcare and serving the communities we call home. Together, we are working to break down barriers within the healthcare system—one brick at a time—by leading from within and partnering across the DFW community. Through collaboration with community foundations, professional organizations, healthcare systems, and other stakeholders, we can meaningfully improve the quality of life for our neighbors.

NAHSE–DFW remains focused on connecting, developing, and empowering an exceptional pipeline of leaders who will shape the future of healthcare delivery. Whether you work in a payer, provider, or consulting role, there has never been a better time to engage with our chapter. If you are not yet an individual or institutional member, I encourage you to visit www.nahse.org, select “Membership,” and choose Dallas–Fort Worth as your chapter.

I am truly honored to serve as your 2026–2028 N.A.H.S.E. DFW Chapter Board President. I believe strongly in the power of connection, so if you see me at an event, please say hello and connect with me—or with any of our board members. We would be delighted to share how you can get involved and make an impact within our healthcare community.

On behalf of the N.A.H.S.E. DFW Executive Board, our future is bright, our work is purpose-driven, and we are excited to serve—together.

Kris Sanders, FACHE
