North Dakota CAH Quality Network

Executive Committee

The executive committee was formed in April 2007 on a voluntary basis. Members, representing administration, quality improvement and nurse management, are from seven different ND CAH’s and represent North Dakota’s geographic regions. These members have agreed to serve either 1, 2 or 3 year terms. The purpose of the executive committee is to oversee the CAH QI Network’s activities. Monthly calls are held with two in –person meetings per year.

The combined executive and advisory committee list is also available in a printable format.
