These proceedings record the 65th Annual Meeting of ACHE held in Charlottesville, Virginia. President Allen Varner's theme for this annual meeting was, "Continuing Education in the Era of Quantum Change." The theme was examined via three perspectives: "The History of Continuing Education;" "The Present--Examined Through Best Practices;" and "The Future--From the National and International Perspectives." During the meeting, members found a variety of opportunities to rediscover and reaffirm the value of continuing education in this era of quantum change. The theme challenged members to revisit the profession's history and reflect their jobs and roles during a time of great change. It challenged them to examine current practices as they move forward by planning for success. Finally, they were encouraged to embrace the future as they considered issues, challenges, trends and opportunities from both the national and international perspective.
