Send us pictures of your Christmas/Holiday tree and we will post on social media and highlight your community. We will have our Facebook community vote on their top 3 favorites. LeadingAge Kansas staff will choose their favorite as well. We are really in the holiday spirit at LeadingAge Kansas this year and we want to see all of your trees. Send your pictures to Hayley Spicer at or Dana Weaver by December 13, 2018. Feel free to tell us a little bit about the tree. Does it have special history? Do the ornaments have special meaning? We will vote the week of December 17th and tally the votes on the 20th. The winner will get 50% off of a registration for our 2019 Spring Conference and Expo – that’s 50% off folks!

Share this contest with your employees so they can vote before December 20th as well.
