Greetings Navy Healthcare Leaders,

On behalf of CDR Atterbury, your ACHE Navy Regent, this correspondence aims to maximize awareness of the 2026 ACHE Congress Attendee Data Call, recently released by the Corps Chiefs Office. Participation in the ACHE Congress represents more than professional development, it is an investment in leadership growth, organizational excellence, and the future of Navy Medicine. Engagement in professional organizations such as ACHE has been shown to enhance workforce commitment, retention, and performance across all levels. Your support in disseminating this information across your respective networks, including Navy members assigned outside BSO-18 commands, is greatly appreciated.

🚨 Key Deadlines & Events

• 📋 Attendee Data Call – Due 22 Nov 2025: BSO-18, BSO-27, and OPNAV commands are tasked through ETMS2 (Tasker ID: DON-251003-XDQH). The data sheet and additional tasker details can be accessed through the official communication channels and the Navy Regents Advisory council website (NRAC).

  
  

• 🗓️ Congress Registration Opens – 8 Oct 2025: Register early at ache.org/congress. Government-rate hotel blocks open the same day — book fast, early reservations are strongly encouraged as accommodations fill quickly before the conference package approval.

  
  

• 🏆 Joint Federal Sector Awards – Due 20 Nov 2025: Details have been released via BSO-18 commands and Specialty Leaders for dissemination. Nomination info is also available on the NRAC site.  Additional guidance and nomination packets will be provided in subsequent communications.

• 🎓 LEAPS 2025 Credits: Credits have been awarded! If you don’t see yours listed, contact LCDR Edward R. Roberts at edward.r.roberts21.mil@health.mil.

🎯 Attendee Prioritization

When selecting attendees, commands should focus on mission impact and professional growth. Priority consideration goes to those who:

✅ Serve in leadership roles within the NRAC or LEAPS Committees

✅ Are pursuing or hold the FACHE credential

✅ Represent diverse Corps — including officers, enlisted leaders, and commissioning candidates

By encouraging broad participation across all professional levels and disciplines, Navy Medicine continues to lead through innovation, collaboration, and operational readiness.
