The Kentucky Hospital Association is governed by a 22-member Board of Trustees. The composition includes 19 hospital chief executive officers (CEOs), a hospital trustee representative, a physician and the KHA President. Twelve CEOs are elected from their districts (3 from each of the KHA districts). Other members include the Chair of the Board, Chair-elect, Immediate Past Chair, Treasurer, Legislative Committee Chair and AHA Delegates. KHA policy is established by the Board of Trustees acting upon recommendations made by various committees and forums. The Board generally meets five times per year.
