The 2013 Governing Membership Fall Summit will be in Nashville, Tennessee, Thursday and Friday, October 3 – 4.
Annually, the Governing Membership of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council meets to assess and plan the work of the organization and to provide support and collaboration with colleagues from around the country. You have told us that the opportunity to work with and learn from each other while shaping the national agenda for HCH is highly valued by our members.
In this year of dramatic change in health care financing and delivery, we will focus on our development as leaders of complex, mission-driven organizations. Matt Bennett, who led our pre-conference institute on leadership this year, will join us as a trainer and facilitator.
We are adjourning the formal meeting at noon on Friday and ask that you not leave earlier. Lunch will be served at noon on Friday. We have held a few rooms at the Scarritt-Bennett Center on Friday night for those of you who may wish to stay over in Nashville for cultural experiences or to attend the HealthcareNow strategy conference on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact Polly Bullock if you are interested in reserving a room for Friday night. These rooms are very limited and will be reserved on a first come first served basis.
Plan your travel now and please RSVP using the form below Friday, August 9.

Additional Information
Governing Membership
The Governing Membership of the National Health Care for the Homeless consists of all organizational member representatives, all board members, four Clinicians’ Network Steering Committee members, three NCAB Steering Committee members, and three RCPN Steering Committee members.
The three full Steering Committees also meet for two days immediately before the Fall Summit and their representatives to the Governing Membership stay for the two days of the Summit. All members of the Steering Committees are receiving a separate communication regarding those meetings and do not need to complete this registration form.
Participation in this meeting is an important opportunity provided through your membership in the National Health Care for the Homeless Council.
Venue
As in the past, these meetings will take place at the Scarritt-Bennett Center, adjacent to Vanderbilt University near the center of Nashville. For more information, see www.scarrittbennett.org.

Scarritt-Bennett Center provides simply furnished single rooms with a connecting bathroom shared with another guest.
The National HCH Council has reserved a limited number of rooms for the Fall Summitt. Each room is reserved for two nights (Wednesday and Thursday) at a cost of $140. The two-night blocks cannot be broken up, as the Council is contractually obligated to pay for them whether or not they are occupied.

Note that the limited number of rooms available at the Scarritt-Bennett Center will be allocated in the order in which payment is received.
