From the EVP/CEO
As we wrap up CHEST’s fiscal year 2017-18 (our fiscal year runs July 1 – June 30), it has been an incredibly positive and productive year, on all fronts. We have educated more learners than ever before, expanded our educational offerings, increased our collaboration with other organizations, grown our CHEST Foundation activities, and are in excellent financial shape to continue our commitment to clinical chest medicine education.
As we prepare for fiscal year 2018-19, I want to highlight some of the key programs, events, and projects we will be undertaking that will support our strategic plan (http://www.chestnet.org/About/Overview/Strategic-Plan) and achieve our mission to champion the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chest diseases through education, communication, and research.
Our organization goals are primarily focused on (but are not limited to) the following broad achievements:
a. Increasing the number of learners that CHEST engages (and increasing their engagement with our content) and assessing the results of our educational interactions
b. Keeping our journal CHEST® among the top Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep peer review journals in the world
c. Expanding domestic and global access to CHEST guidelines and other relevant clinical content
d. Continuing to offer a positive and inclusive culture and work environment at CHEST, for our volunteers, world-class faculty, members, and staff
e. Meeting or exceeding our budget, reserve policy, and grant funding targets to ensure delivery of our mission-based educational efforts and programs
Because our mission as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit is education, I’ll start with those key programs that are driving our budget for FY2018-19 and will also cover publishing and membership.
