Strong Senior Living Leaders Are Needed Now More Than Ever
As the nation’s aging population grows, so does the need for experienced and dedicated leadership across senior living. With senior living acting as one of the strongest job creators fueling the nation’s economy, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is important that the industry continues to communicate the many benefits of choosing to work in senior living. In this issue of Senior Living Executive, The Leadership Issue, you’ll find stories about leaders in our industry who
have risen through the ranks and chosen senior living as a lifetime career. They will talk about their start in the industry—some as high school students or front- line staff, discuss the many career paths senior living offers, and provide advice for future industry leaders. You’ll also meet 17 emerging visionaries who were nominated and selected for our first Senior Living Leaders Under 40 recognition program, as well as be introduced to five innovative programs and best practices recognized as 2017 Argentum Best of the Best Award winners. At Argentum, we recognize that success happens when leaders unite—that’s the theme of the 2017 Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference & Expo, May 1-3, in Nashville. At the event this year, we’ll see more than 2,500 senior living executives and business leaders come together to discuss some of the most critical issues facing the industry and share solutions leading to a better tomorrow for those who call senior living home.
With your support, Argentum continues to be a leading resource for senior living companies and professionals through our educational events, professional development opportunities, advocacy efforts, innovative research reports and publications, and industry-elevating initiatives. Through initiatives such as developing standards for senior living and offering credentialing for community executive directors, we demonstrate a commitment to raising the bar of excellence across the industry through collaboration and thought leadership. As you read through this issue, we challenge you to think about your own career and consider how you can continue to develop as a professional— perhaps by taking advantage of career development opportunities or by working to implement new ideas and best practices in your community or company. Successful and effective leadership begins with you.
