Continuing Education
LeadingAge Wisconsin recognizes that ongoing education is crucial to lifelong learning and continued professional growth. To serve the interests and needs of members, LeadingAge Wisconsin hosts a wide range of high-quality educational offerings. Offerings include our annual conference, advocacy days, seminars, webinars and a leadership academy.
The LeadingAge Wisconsin Annual Conference and Exhibitors Forum is one of the largest educational events available in Wisconsin for aging services professionals. Typically well over 600 professionals attend this event. It includes more than 100 vendor exhibits.
Leading Age Wisconsin hosts pre-conference educational seminars on the day before a major conference. These pre-conference seminars address timely topics, current concerns, future trends, new ideas, innovative programs and creative solutions. The seminar format allows more time for in-depth exploration and peer-to-peer discussions.
Through our biennial Day at the Capitol, LeadingAge Wisconsin comes together with professionals at many different levels to identify, discuss and analyze public policy initiatives at both the state and national level. During Day at the Capitol, we introduce new initiatives and teach new strategies that position you and your organization for success. This forum provides up-to-date information on the issues that impact you, then offers time to discuss the initiatives you and LeadingAge Wisconsin will take to continue leading the way for aging services. Participants of this forum frequently walk across the street to the Capitol to visit their state legislators, talk about new and pending policy initiatives and to advocate for fair funding of aging services in the state budget.
As Medicaid reimbursement evolves each year, is your nursing home prepared to make the changes needed to receive the reimbursement you deserve? Each year, LeadingAge Wisconsin hosts a reimbursement seminar to help you maximize your Medicaid rates. The seminar enhances your understanding of the ongoing changes to the Medicaid reimbursement formula and addresses other issues that have a bearing on a facility's reimbursement.
Webinars
Members may need immediate access to education and training on issues that can arise quickly in the long-term care and assisted living environment. LeadingAge Wisconsin is well positioned to deliver timely, high-quality educational programs. We ensure members have the information they need when they need it. As technology continues to change the way we live and learn, senior service professionals cannot always leave the workplace to access quality education. LeadingAge Wisconsin addresses this need through innovative technology-based learning opportunities, from standalone webinars to multi-session series. We offer high-quality training on topics ranging from regulatory and legal issues to quality improvement and workforce trends.
I-LEAD is an immersive leadership development experience. It builds self-awareness, peer connections and practical insights to inspire and motivate high-potential leaders. The academy’s vision is to cultivate excellence in leaders who will elevate their organizations, communities, LeadingAge Wisconsin and the senior living field through passion, adaptability and innovation.
I-LEAD is grounded in the values of lifelong learning, integrity, compassion and collaboration. I-LEAD encourages participants to embrace new knowledge, act authentically, seek understanding and build positive, creative and safe environments.
Each year, a new cohort of fellows participates in four sessions, which feature candid conversations with aging services leaders and guided self-exploration of leadership styles through exercises and readings.
