2024-03-06 13:00 - 14:30
**LeadingAge Members ONLY (any state) **
Hosted by: LeadingAge Southeast

The deadline remains March 31, 2024. This webinar will be interactive and discussion based. It will be moderated by LeadingAge Southeast, and will walk through each of the policies that need to be discussed internally by each organization to determine what modifications are needed for TSP’s and EIV P&P’s. Even if you have purchased a policies packet from an industry consultant, this call may help you clarify which of the policies makes sense to implement based on your property’s individual needs. Please come prepared to share your thoughts, and bring your questions for the group.

Exemplary leaders make great things happen.

Leaders need less one-off trainings, and more content in series format.
Leaders need access to education that is available at their convenience. It’s not just important, it’s critical.
Leaders recognize that as a field, we are only as strong as the weakest performing organization.

This isn’t just about having better run organizations, although you’ll get that too; this is about accessing helpful resources, in which the staff are energized and the people receiving services get the best possible care.
Think of how many people can benefit from your one decision to take action.
Be that leader. Take that action.
