Good morning, Everyone,
I am very pleased to share with you exciting news from GHA Chair Dan Owens:
Dear Colleagues, GHA Staff and Supporters,
As you are well aware, Earl Rogers will be retiring in January 2024 from the President and CEO role of the Georgia Hospital Association. The Executive Committee, GHA Board and I want to thank Earl for his leadership of our great Association.
We posted Earl’s role back in January 2023 and officially kicked off the search process for his successor. We did this to provide the Executive Committee time for thorough vetting of applications, interviews and deliberation. We also wanted to ensure time for an adequate transition period between Earl and the successor.
I am very pleased to report that after a national search, the Executive Committee has identified and hired the Georgia Hospital Association’s next President & Chief Executive Officer. Caylee Noggle will succeed Earl Rogers and will join GHA on August 1, 2023. Caylee (see attached bio for more details on her background) is an accomplished leader, relationship builder and understands what it means to advocate for the betterment of others. She is the ideal candidate to lead GHA into the future and improve on our mission of advocacy for all Georgia hospitals, providing educational opportunities aimed at improving the quality and delivery of healthcare, and becoming the trusted voice on health care for our State. Caylee will have a very talented GHA staff at her side that believes in the vision and mission of our Association. I will be working with Caylee and Earl on the transition planning over the next several months.
In closing, I want to thank the executive committee for their focus and diligence in their selection of Caylee. Through your leadership, our Association will be in excellent hands.
Please help me in welcoming Caylee to her new role as President and CEO of GHA.
Best Regards,
Dan Owens Chair,
Board of Trustees
Georgia Hospital Association
