Trustees of the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology

About the Trustees

The Certification Commission’s board of trustees assumes fiduciary responsibility for the organization, a fully independent 501 (3)(c) nonprofit organization.

This board serves 3-year staggered terms. The trustees provide leadership in the areas of fiscal oversight and stewardship of assets, organizational strategy, evaluation of senior management, and resolution of any conflicts of interest involving the Commission’s management and its board of commissioners.

In contrast to the board of trustees, the board of commissioners guides and approves the work of the voluntary work groups and staff as they develop certification criteria, inspection processes and policy for the commission's CCHIT Certified programs.
