Women of Distinction, puzzle

Entry gathering for the 2nd Annual McKnight’s Women of Distinction awards program is in full swing, but interested individuals should be aware the early bird period will end at midnight Wednesday (Dec. 18). The final deadline for entries is Jan. 8, 2020. 

McKnight’s Senior Living and McKnight’s Long-Term Care News are again honoring women long-term care leaders in two categories: the Hall of Honor for top veteran leaders and the “Rising Stars” category. A lifetime achievement award also will be bestowed.

All honorees will be celebrated at a May awards event in Chicago. Last year’s program was a rousing success, highlighting the accomplishments of 41 women across a range of titles and responsibilities (see video recap here). 

Eligible women are those working as direct care providers, managers, executives, corporate executives and owners in independent living, assisted living, memory care and life plan communities, as well as those working in these capacities in skilled nursing facilities. Those who serve the field as association staff members or thought leaders, also are eligible.

PointClickCare is the Diamond sponsor of this year’s event, and PharMerica is the Silver sponsor.
