The role of the Regent-at-Large is to promote diversity in the governance of ACHE with respect to race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation or disability. Dr. Davis’ appointment builds on his work related to diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as his work over the years with ACHE. He currently serves on ACHE’s national faculty and as Chair of the ACHE LGBTQ Forum. He has presented at Congress and via national ACHE webinars on diversity, equity and inclusion. Dr. Davis also recently contributed to a national report on advancing diversity and inclusion in health professions learning environments with the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.

ACHE is an international professional society of more than 48,000 healthcare executives leading hospitals, healthcare systems and other healthcare organizations. ACHE’s mission is to advance healthcare management excellence.

Dr. Davis joined the HSC School of Public Health in May 2020. Since then, the MHA program faculty have revised the program mission and vision statements and established diversity, equity and inclusion as a programmatic cornerstone.
