Mark Your Calendar - Town Hall October 11, 2018
The LeadingAge Maryland Town Hall Conversation is your opportunity to provide input to LeadingAge about ways public policy is affecting you, the older adults you serve – and how policy could be changed for the better. LeadingAge has established a new public-policy setting process, the most important part of which is a Town Hall Conversation in each state. LeadingAge state and national staff, and a member of the LeadingAge national Board of Directors, will participate to hear directly from you. Results of the Conversation will be shared with LeadingAge’s Policy Committee, Board of Directors and staff, and will be used to set public policy priorities to better represent your interests and the interests of older adults in Washington, DC. The feedback from each Town Hall will be aggregated so we can identify the most pressing issues across states, themes and emerging issues.
We’ll also be discussing policy issues for Maryland to shape our agenda for 2019. The Town Hall will be held from 1:00 – 4:00PM on October 11, 2018 at Broadmead in Cockeysville. Then we’ll adjourn to Bar Louie at Hunt Valley Towne Center to enjoy a refreshing beverage and social networking time.
There is No fee for Town Hall, but we need an accurate count, so please Register today!

Recent Events
Fall Leaders Forum Generates Excitement and New Possibilities
This year’s Fall Forum, held on September 11, focused on collaborations and partnerships and featured more than 10 different initiatives across from across the region. Those who attended told us they feel better prepared to “leverage relationships”, “look outside what is being done”, “reach out to partners in the community”, and generally be more proactive in initiating a wide range of collaborations. Besides learning from many presenters who shared during the panel discussions, attendees took part in small group discussions and an interactive “collaboration marketplace” experience. Information and ideas generated during the Forum will be used to create a detailed Collaboration Digest highlighting the initiatives in which our members are involved, exploring opportunities for new collaborations, and exploring the issues that we as LeadingAge Maryland can tackle together. A very special thank you to Ginger Cove for hosting this event. Stay tuned to learn more and receive your copy of the LeadingAge Maryland Collaboration Digest.
 Emerging Leaders feel “Enlightened” After First Day
On September 12, we welcomed our fall 2018 Emerging Leaders for the first of their four days together. This diverse group of professionals comes from a wide range of LeadingAge Maryland member organizations, and represents many different departments and areas of expertise. At the end of day one, we asked attendees to give us one word to describe their first day. They told us things like: “Appreciated”,“Confident”, “Enlightened”, “Supported”, “Accepted”, “Valued”,“Understanding”, “Mindfulness”, “Collaboration”, “Eye-Opening”, and“Diversity”.
Our spring 2019 cohort is filling fast. To learn more or apply, please contact Allison.
