// By Jared Johnson //
With the ever-changing nature of health care and communications today, the need for career guidance and professional development is stronger than ever. Programs like Emerging + Evolving Leaders by the New England Society for Healthcare Communications (NESHCo) give professionals new opportunities to gain the skills, relationships, and self-awareness needed to be leaders now and in the future.

“We know there is a shortage of developed leaders in our profession, and yet no shortage of intelligent, upwardly mobile people who may not consider themselves leaders yet,” says Jill McDonald Halsey, chief marketing and communication officer for Lawrence General Hospital, and one of the program’s organizers. “The Emerging + Evolving Leaders Program seemed to be a really good fit for an organization whose mission is to be our members’ indispensable resource for their professional practice and career development.”
