title: Trustees and hospital associations: a closer bond.
abstract: Recent years have seen a noticeable expansion of trustee involvement in allied hospital association activities. Among the most active areas are more direct trustee involvement in the organization and governance of the associations, innovative trustee education programs, and wider applications of trustees' traditional work as legislative liaisons. A variety of programs are proving the benefits that can be reaped from greater trustee participation in hospital associations.
