The final deadline for McKnight’s Women of Distinction awards nominations is Thursday, January 31. That’s the next Thursday (at midnight) on your calendar. It signifies the close of an extended period, so the time to act is now, if you haven’t already.
McKnight’s Long-Term Care News and sister brand McKnight’s Senior Living launched the Women of Distinction awards in December. The honors program recognizes women who have made significant contributions at a high level to the seniors housing and care field, as well as those who are “Rising Stars.”
Eligible for recognition are women working as direct care providers, managers, executives, corporate executives and owners in skilled nursing facilities, as well as in assisted living, memory care, independent living and life plan communities.
Awards will be bestowed in two categories:
- The Hall of Honor will recognize candidates who are at a level equivalent to vice president or higher in their organization who have made a significant impact on their organization or the industry.
- Rising Stars must be younger than 40 years old or have fewer than 15 years of experience in the industry, and they must have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the senior housing and care field.
Nominators should be prepared to share each nominee’s work history, exceptional achievements and contributions or service, and anything else that the judging panel should consider.
