A Message from the President
I am pleased to invite you to attend LeadingAge PA’s Annual Conference & Exposition — “Celebrating our Story: 50 Years of Caring.”
Founded in 1963, the Pennsylvania Association of Non-Profit Homes for the Aging—now LeadingAge PA—was
established to provide education and a voice of advocacy for not-for-profit long-term care providers. Pennsylvania not-for-profit providers have always been leaders. In fact, the concept of continuing care retirement communities was developed and nurtured by LeadingAge PA members. Over the years, our members have developed a wide range of services from high tech nursing care to innovative home and community based services. Though times have certainly changed since 1963, our goal of advocating on behalf of members and ensuring they are equipped to meet the future demands they face as not-for-profit providers remains true.

1963 2013
Building on our core competencies of advocacy and strategic knowledge, this year’s education emphasizes ways to strategically assess your organization, increase operational efficiency and develop new services to meet the expectations of present and future residents.
In addition to participating in our educational program, we also invite members to raise a glass and join us for “Cheers to ’63,” our retro-inspired anniversary party complete with ‘celebrity’ icons, music from the day and a 50th anniversary themed cake contest.
Please make plans to join us for a truly exceptional and memorable event this year in Hershey as we celebrate the achievements of the past fifty years and look forward to the promise of more to come.

John Legend Sharing our Gifts Wednesday, June 19 8:30 – 10:30 a.m.
Within the world of aging services and beyond, talented and successful people have a chance to leverage their gifts to benefit others. Giving back makes it possible to fill the economic, educational and opportunity gaps for the less fortunate, offering them ways to grow and achieve. Not-for-profit organizations understand better than most that the “haves” help level the playing field for the “have nots” by raising awareness, lifting spirits, sharing talents or devoting time. No matter one’s
strength, good fortune can serve as a catalyst to better the lives of others to truly make a difference.
John Legend, a critically-acclaimed multi-platinum selling singer and songwriter, is known for his dedicated work as a philanthropist and social activist. The winner of nine Grammy Awards and two NAACP Image Awards, he also was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. In 2007, he launched the “Show Me Campaign,” a nonprofit organization fighting poverty and promoting education reform around the world. Legend has been recognized several times for his activism including the 2010 BET Humanitarian of the Year award. Hear him discuss his reasons for giving and encourage others to do the same.
Larry Minnix Celebrating our Story Wednesday, June 19 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Since the early days of our founding fathers, LeadingAge PA members have found ways to advance housing, services and care for seniors. Throughout the Commonwealth—from its steel ports, coal regions and railroad towns to its farmlands and historic cities—members have worked to be involved and change lives. Building bridges and creating partnerships, they have lead, inspired, innovated and advocated. With tenacity and passion, Pennsylvania not-for-profit providers have, and continue to, stand up for seniors, answer a call
to serve and envision a preferred future for seniors. Their efforts and agility will serve as valuable assets in the years to come.
Larry Minnix has served as president and CEO of LeadingAge since 2001. For more than 35 years, Minnix has been a passionate advocate for leadership and innovation in not-for-profit aging services. He has translated his passion into practice as LeadingAge’s CEO. During his tenure, he established the LeadingAge Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST), developed programs to address important issues like workforce retention and regulatory reform, and is currently advocating for long-term care financing reform. He was named on the Nonprofit Times 2008, 2009 and 2010 “Power and Influence Top 50” lists. Join him as he celebrates the stories, members and vision of LeadingAge PA.

General Sessions
Jeremy Bloom Enriching our LivesThursday, June 20 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.
The work of LeadingAge PA members goes beyond quality senior care, housing and services to the business of fulfillment. They strive to ensure not only that seniors needs are met, but their dreams realized. In practice, this means continually filling and refilling their bucket lists. It means helping seniors reach for the sky, accomplish their goals and live life with purpose. In big and small ways, honoring the lives of seniors and considering each person’s wishes has always been an
integral part of members’ efforts. Members continue each day with an aim to enrich lives and expand the world of possibility for seniors.
Jeremy Bloom, two-time Olympic Skier and former NFL football player, established Wish of a Lifetime (WOL) in 2008. He launched the organization with a vision to initiate a cultural change by granting the wish of a lifetime to deserving seniors throughout the United States. Bloom named the foundation in living honor of Bloom’s grandmother, Donna Wheeler, and his grandfather Jerry Bloom, and hoped it would be known for its purpose and impact on others. WOL Foundation is built on the premise that senior citizens should be respected, honored and aided in our society. Gather for an afternoon of celebration as we hear how wishes do come true.

david McCullough Honoring our HistoryThursday, June 20 8:30 – 10:30 a.m.
History has long served as our teacher and guidepost, telling us not only where we have been, but how far we have come and the steps we took along our journey. The past is not a time in which to become mired, but rather a place to seek inspiration and leadership lessons from those who have gone before us. As an organization that has grown in strength and vision for over a half century, LeadingAge PA has a chance to reflect on the wisdom it has accumulated over
the years to propel it and its members forward to meet the promise to serve seniors in Pennsylvania.
David McCullough, a Pittsburgh native, author, editor and teacher, has mastered the art of narrative history. He is a two-time winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His most recent book, The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris is a New York Times best seller. His other notable works include 1776, John Adams and Truman. A familiar presence on public television, he has been host of Smithsonian World, The American Experience and narrator of numerous documentaries including Ken Burns’s The Civil War. Listen as he tells tales of people who have exemplified courage, leadership, achievement and moral character.

LeadingAge PA’s NorthStar was developed in 2006 to create a compelling vision
for the future of senior services and care in the Commonwealth. The NorthStar
serves as a navigational tool and assists organizations in shaping their own
strategic planning processes. Organizations that continue to keep their eyes on
the NorthStar will be better positioned to anticipate changes and advances in
their profession while helping to achieve the desired future of senior services.
LeadingAge PA recognizes that the NorthStar must
remain relevant moving forward and has made
important revisions which will be introduced and
prominently highlighted throughout our 2013
Annual Conference. We urge you to learn and
share LeadingAge PA’s updated NorthStar
and its outlined envisioned future. With
NorthStar as our guide, we are confident
the best is yet to come for not-for-profit
senior services providers!

A multitude of external factors including evolving demographics, changing consumer preferences, economic realities and health care reform are greatly affecting senior living providers today. To position themselves for the future, providers have not only focused more intensely on operational efficiencies, but also on their strategic direction. Forward-thinking organizations are exploring collaborative relationships as a way to advance their missions to serve seniors and remain agile in the dynamic aging services environment.
❉ Discuss ways to engage management, board and other key constituents in assessing your organization’s strategic position and identifying areas where collaborative relationships could help shape your future strategic planning.
❉ Understand ways to evaluate potential collaborative opportunities, from pooling expertise, generating of economies of scale and partnering in joint development projects, to pursuit of an affiliation/merger or acquisition.
❉ Hear from a diverse panel of providers and industry experts about key legal, financial, business and mission considerations for collaborative opportunities.

Films on AgingWhat Time is LeftIn this documentary, the filmmaker captures the emotional journey of caring for his two grandmothers living in the same retirement community. One grandmother talks about her wishes to die with dignity if her mental and health status deteriorates. The other grandmother has advanced dementia. Her family struggles to accept the declining quality of her life. The film offers a deeper understanding of the profound challenges that caregivers face when caring for loved ones as they age.

LeadingAge PA must abide by the rules and regulations of all applicable professional accrediting boards and agencies as a condition of continued approval as a continuing education (CE) provider. As such, credit cannot be provided to attendees who arrive to sessions late, leave early or are otherwise not present for the duration of presentation (the Q&A and interactive components are considered part of the credit hour content).
Credit can only be obtained for one session per timeframe. An electronic system is used to record and verify attendance at all sessions where CE credits are offered, and a certificate of attendance will be mailed within four weeks of the conference based on the session attendance data obtained onsite.

Important!
LeadingAge PA continuously strives to use your member dollars wisely. This effort continues at our Annual Conference. In order to ensure that members have enough hotel rooms at Hershey® Lodge, LeadingAge PA guarantees those rooms to the hotel. Rooms booked by attendees and then cancelled within days of the Conference become the financial responsibility of LeadingAge PA and in addition cause other members to stay in overflow hotels. Each year, the amount of rooms booked and cancelled has increased, therefore this year; LeadingAge PA is asking all conference attendees and exhibitors to please do the following:
❉ Block conservatively, only reserving rooms for those who are confirmed to attend the conference.
❉ If you must cancel, please do so at least 7 days ahead of your scheduled arrival date, giving us time to sell the room to another attendee, therefore minimizing any financial penalty, otherwise a one night charge plus tax will apply.
❉ An individual name will be required for every reservation. Room blocks will not be permitted under one name or one organization.
Make your Hotel ReservationTo make hotel reservations, contact the Hershey® Lodge at 717-533-3311 and request a room under the LeadingAge PA block. Make your reservations by May 3rd to receive the special LeadingAge PA group rate of $199, plus applicable taxes (single or double guest room). After this date, reservations will be accepted on a space and price available basis. Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m.
depositOne night’s deposit including tax is required for each room reservation. A credit card must be used for this purpose.
Hotel Changes or CancellationsTo make changes to your reservations, please call the hotel directly. To avoid cancellation charges, cancel no later than seven days prior to your arrival date otherwise a one night charge plus tax will apply.
