After years of dedicated service to LeadingAge Kansas and our members, Stephanie Gfeller, Director of Professional Development and Leadership, will be leaving the organization March 26 to pursue a new opportunity. 

During her time with LeadingAge Kansas, Stephanie played an important role in strengthening the association’s education and leadership programming. She helped develop and deliver professional development opportunities for aging services leaders across the state and worked closely with members to support workforce development and leadership growth within the field. 

Her work has helped equip providers with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to serve older Kansans with excellence, and we are grateful for the contributions she has made to the association and our members. 

When asked about her time with LeadingAge Kansas, Stephanie said: “Working alongside LeadingAge Kansas members over the past seven years has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career. It has been a privilege supporting the work you do and seeing your impact on seniors.” 

Please join us in thanking Stephanie for her service and wishing her the very best in the next chapter of her career. 

In the meantime, the LeadingAge Kansas team will continue delivering upcoming education programs and leadership initiatives, and we remain committed to providing the resources and support members rely on.
