CCMHA Events and Professional Development
Introducing the CCMHA Leadership Series
Healthcare administration continues to evolve, and so does CCMHA.
As the needs of healthcare organizations grow, so does the need for connection, leadership development, and collaboration among the professionals who keep those organizations running. In response, CCMHA is expanding its professional development opportunities through the new CCMHA Leadership Series.
This series is designed to bring healthcare administrative professionals together from across Colorado—including behavioral health, hospitals, community health centers, medical practices, and specialty care—for meaningful learning, networking, and the exchange of ideas.
Over the coming year, CCMHA will offer:
Fall 2026
Virtual Leadership Session
An opportunity to connect with colleagues, explore current topics in healthcare administration, and gain practical leadership insights.
Spring 2027
Virtual Leadership Session
Continuing the conversation with additional education, collaboration, and professional development opportunities.
These virtual events will help strengthen our statewide network while creating more opportunities for engagement throughout the year.
We look forward to welcoming members and guests back for the CCMHA Administrative Leadership Conference in September 2027, where we will continue building a strong, connected community of healthcare administrative professionals.
Together, we are creating more opportunities to learn, lead, and grow—because strong administrative leadership strengthens healthcare organizations and the communities they serve.
