Leann Wright Named Board Trustee of the Year by LeadingAge Minnesota

Posted on February 9, 2023 by Libbie Chapuran

Leann Wright, Past President of Eventide Senior Living Communities in Moorhead, MN, was recently named Board Trustee of the Year by LeadingAge Minnesota.

The award honors a volunteer board member in an older adult services organization whose leadership, service, and actions have enriched the lives of older persons and enhanced their community. Wright has served on the board for 13 years and advocates for the underprivileged and forgotten.  She has served as board president and currently acts as past president.

Wright has helped to guide Eventide through one of the most challenging periods for providers of long-term care. From expansion into new service lines, to succession planning, to board development, she has worked with the CEO and other board members to set Eventide on a course to serve Fargo/Moorhead and north-central Minnesota for decades to come.

At first a reluctant board member, Leann quickly realized the impact the organization could make in the lives of residents, staff, and the communities it serves. She freely gives her time and talent to help elevate older adult services across the state.
