About Board & Administrator—For Administrators Only

"Our board likes the brief, but to the point, articles that are always timely and relevant. They address issues that can sometimes be difficult for the administrator to discuss with boards but are presented in such a way that board members can accept them in an objective manner. BAN boils topics down to a manageable format that is most effective in explaining on-going issues. I also appreciate the “For Administrators Only” section of the publication and have implemented a number of the practices and ideas that are presented each month. Board & Administrator is informative and cost-effective for our organization.”


Bob Mullen, CEO, Rice County Hospital District #1, Lyons, KS
