There are two categories: the Hall of Honor and Rising Stars. The Hall of Honor recognizes top leaders who have made a significant impact on their organization or in the industry. The Rising Stars honors professionals age 40 or younger that have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the senior housing and care industry. 

Nominees can include women working in long-term and post-acute care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and life plan / continuing care retirement communities. Direct care providers, managers, executives, corporate executives and owners are eligible. 

Women who serve the field indirectly, such as association members and thought leaders may also apply. Vendors are not eligible. 

PointClickCare is the Diamond sponsor for this year’s program. PharMerica is the Silver sponsor.
