Also, Eduardo Conrado, President, Ascension, has been elected to the CHA board. Both are effective July 1, 2023.

Joe joined the CHA Board of Trustees on July 1, 2019. The board is responsible for overseeing the affairs of CHA and setting its strategic direction.

Board members and the Vice Chairperson/Chairperson-elect are nominated by the CHA Governance Committee and are elected by vote of the CHA Membership Assembly.
