title: Boardroom disclosure. In light of recent corporate scandals, AHA board execs debate whether they should serve on the boards of for-profit companies.
abstract: Corporate integrity is the topic du jour, and now it has emerged among the leadership of the American Hospital Association, where a divide exists over whether AHA board executives should serve concurrently on the boards of for-profit firms selling goods to hospitals. Fred Brown (left), AHA chairman in 1999, is one of several former AHA chair officers who served on the boards of privately held firms during their tenures.
