Are you interested in participating in the 2019/2020 AHCA/NCAL Future Leaders of Long Term Care in America program or know someone who might be? VHCA-VCAL is able to nominate one individual to represent Virginia. Please consider nominating someone to take advantage of this great opportunity. 

About the AHCA/NCAL Future Leaders Program

Before recommending a candidate for this year’s class of Future Leaders, please discuss the following requirements and responsibilities with your nominee.  Future Leaders will be expected to:

• Attend a three-day training session, which will be held in Washington, DC on September 24-26;
• Complete any assigned reading – typically 4 or 5 books during the year – and be prepared to discuss on conference calls;
• Participate in most of the scheduled conference calls and activities, including a graduation event hosted by AHCA/NCAL leadership at the AHCA/NCAL Annual Convention & Expo, which will be held October 4-7, 2020 in Austin, TX;
• Demonstrate an interest in working on LTC issues at the national level, which may include participating on AHCA/NCAL workgroups or committees; and
• Consider active participation in the AHCA PAC and promoting its importance to other members.

AHCA will absorb the costs related to the 2019/2020 “Future Leaders of Long Term Care in America” symposium, including a two-night hotel stay, airfare, and a fixed stipend of $100.00 for miscellaneous travel expenses.

VHCA-VCAL members who are alumni of the Future Leaders Program include:

• David Abraham
• Vernon Baker
• Paul Clements
• Ben Higgins
• Chad Isabelle
• Ashley Jackson

• David Tucker
• Denise Wright
  

How to Apply

Once you have discussed the responsibilities and requirements with your nominee, please submit a resume and a brief statement explaining why he or she would like to participate in the program to Keith Hare by May 31. VHCA-VCAL will then nominate one individual to represent Virginia.

The nominees for the 2019/2020 class should be owners and operators who are up and coming leaders. We especially encourage nominees who reflect, not only the diversity of AHCA/NCAL membership in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, and socio-economic backgrounds, but the various constituency groups that comprise AHCA/NCAL – whether that is a rural or urban area, a non-profit or a proprietary facility, or small, independently-owned facilities or regional, multi-facility corporations.
