A hearty congratulations to Nate Glendening of Phillips County Retirement Center in Philipsburg! He has been selected to participate in the 2019 Class of the national LeadingAge Larry Minnix Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy is designed to develop leadership capacities and core competencies of aging services professionals across the continuum of care and services. This group of Fellows from around the country will meet throughout the year to explore diverse perspectives from aging services leaders, learn from innovative care and service models, enhance their leadership skills and core competencies and advance person-centered programming in aging services. In addition, Fellows will begin working toward the implementation of a program or practice that will help advance an innovation or improvement within their organizations (or the aging services field).
