Maine Health Care Association is seeking nominations for the annual AHCA/NCAL Future Leaders of Long Term Care Program. Candidates will be selected for this professional training and mentorship program, which begins September 24-26, with a symposium in Washington, DC. Each state may nominate one person.

Nominees for the 2024-2025 class should be owners and/or operators who are up and coming leaders in their state (Maine). Individuals best suited for the program will have at least three years' experience in mid to senior-level long term care management positions, or at least one year as a C-Suite executive, or owner. We also encourage nominees who reflect the diversity of AHCA/NCAL membership in terms of race, ethnicity, gender identification, sexual orientation, disability, and religion.

MHCA members may submit the name and resume of their nominee to Angela Westhoff, MHCA President/CEO, in writing by April 30th. Self-nominations are welcome.

The following requirements and responsibilities are expected of Future Leaders participants:
  • Attend a three-day leadership training session based on Stephen Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, which will be held in Washington, DC September 24 -26;
