Programs: A Deep Discussion at the Director Level on Health Care Reform Wednesday, September 15, 2010 Program Overview - Health Care Reform has been one of the most highly contested issues in Congress and in our nation over the past year. As directors and senior level executives of public, private and larger not-for profit boards, you will want to attend this program with internationally known Steven Wojcik, Vice President of Public Policy with the National Business Group on Health (the "Business Group") for a presentation on what reform means to our organizations and the key elements of implementation of which we oversee. This event will provide a forum not often available within our region for questions and answers on the challenges and issues facing directors of boards and senior level executives in sorting through both the meaning and ramifications of this new legislation.
