National LeadingAge Policy Call to Change
On June 6, 2024 by Mark Schulz
LeadingAge announced yesterday it will be revamping its Monday/Wednesday afternoon policy update calls.
Members can expect to receive more information directly from LeadingAge via the LeadingAge daily morning newsletter or reading the revision on their website.
What’s changing
LeadingAge is excited to launch a new members-only briefing and analysis call with our experts, “National Policy Pulse,” every Monday at 3:30 p.m. ET, beginning June 17. There will no longer also be a Wednesday afternoon call. LeadingAge members will still have timely and important updates from LeadingAge experts on policy, workforce, and more—just once on Monday and for members only. Also, you will have access to resources, handouts, and recordings of recent calls on the new landing page so you can always keep the Pulse on national policy!
How to register
The daily email will contain a registration link for the New Members-Only National Policy Pulse Call.
If you are registered for the current Monday and Wednesday policy update calls, these will end after Wednesday, June 12. You must register for the new National Policy Pulse call that begins Monday, June 17. Your registration will keep you on the list for all calls in 2024, and LeadingAge will send a new registration link to members for calls in 2025.
