Leaders of Color + Allies Network
The LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware Leaders of Color (LoC) + Allies Network is a professional networking group for senior, mid-level, and emerging leaders of color employed by LeadingAge member organizations. The network is designed to support and facilitate career advancement in the field of aging services. It serves as a sounding board for members to share challenges and success stories related to negative work-related issues around race and racism, and as a forum for members to exchange resources and ideas and to hear experts discuss topics reflecting the expressed needs and interests of people of color within our field.
Join the Network
PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED TO LEADINGAGE PROVIDER MEMBERS
