The final-final nomination deadline for the 2024 McKnight’s Women of Distinction awards program is today.
Nominations for the Rising Star, Veteran VIP and Hall of Honor categories must be submitted by midnight today (Jan. 12).
The good news is, the entry form is straightforward and easy to fill out.
Eligible professionals include women working as managers, executives, corporate executives and owners in skilled nursing, senior living and home care businesses.
Women who serve the fields indirectly — for instance as association staff members, academicians or thought leaders — also are eligible for recognition. (Individuals working for vendor companies serving the industry are not eligible.)
Now in its sixth year, the program is administered by McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, McKnight’s Senior Living and McKnight’s Home Care.
Since the program began in 2019, 252 women in the fields of skilled nursing, senior living or home care have been honored across multiple award categories.
The nomination categories:
- Hall of Honor: For top executives.
- Veteran VIP: For mid-career professionals with more than 15 years of experience.
- Rising Star: Candidates must be aged 40 or fewer years or have fewer than 15 years of experience in the profession.
- Spirit Award: This award recognizes inspiring caregiving and service provision efforts. Eligibility is open to those who have demonstrated acts of bravery, courage, perseverance, dedication, determination — or other noble gestures. (Nominations for the Spirit Award will be accepted at no charge.)
A Lifetime Achievement Award winner will soon be named by event organizers.
All honorees will be celebrated at an in-person event on Tuesday, May 14, in Chicago that also will recognize inductees from previous years. More information about the event, which also will include optional educational sessions, is available at mcknightswomenofdistinction.com.
