Welcome to WHA’s Wisdom in Practice (WIP) program!

This new program is built for those who want develop professionally and move into an administrative role/C-Suite position. We know there are traditional courses you can take but might not get the soft skills needed to advance. Our new mentor program matches seasoned WHA C-suite members (CEO, CFO, CNO, VP, etc.) with staff members from other organizations to help them advance their skill set.

WHA members have been supporting each other for over 30 years and are some of the most innovative and resilient people in healthcare. This program allows members to share their expertise and wisdom with those wanting to advance without paying huge sums of money.

The WIP program will run for a full year, beginning in March of each year. There is no fee for mentors to participate in the program. Mentees each pay $200 per year to participate.

  • Success is determined by goals set by mentee
    with mentor
  • Meeting via Zoom is encouraged
  • Chew and Chat sessions are to discuss leadership challenges with fellow peers
