I’m happy to have fallen in with a group of mentors who recently repeated a statement I’ve heard over the years about the AAHSA and Leading Age meetings … “You have to go to prove you’re not dead.” While I’m sad to miss this year’s gathering, I am happy to report I’m not dead. Looking back at those past gatherings there are some favorite things that don’t change to look forward to at one of the next gatherings:
Connecting new friends to old ones and learning something new.
Checking in on past projects, touching base with everyone you’re working with, and discussing new ideas.
Staying up too late, getting up too early, and keeping everything moving forward while seeing everyone.
Thankfully one thing has changed. After several off and on years of these gathering overlapping with Halloween, LeadingAge’s leadership recognized the higher value of giving the next generation of leaders the opportunity to enjoy that special celebration with their families and friends. Thank you for listening!
It’s easier to predict what will NOT change… than what will change.
Thanks for all the good memories and well wishes.
Safe travels,
Perry
