Governance
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees oversees the business, affairs, and property of the Maryland Hospital Association. Members of the Board of Trustees are elected during the annual membership meeting. Each Trustee holds office for a three-year term and can serve up to six consecutive years.
MHA Policy Councils
MHA’s three policy councils—the Council on Clinical & Quality Issues, Council on Financial Policy, and Council on Legislative & Regulatory Policy—position the organization’s stances on matters crucial to hospitals and the people they serve. These councils propose recommendations to MHA’s Board of Trustees, which approves the positions and who may convene task forces to address specific issues.
