CEMO Lunch

All LeadingAge member CEOs who oversee multiple—geographically separate—provider communities are invited to join LeadingAge leadership for a special CEMO lunch. It offers an intimate setting to network with peers who face similar challenges and gain new perspectives from the shared experiences of others in similar roles.

In addition, the Leadership Summit program is designed to address the unique and significant pressures faced by CEOs of organizations of increased scope, scale and complexity. Topics cover strategic growth and future market opportunities, the uncertainty of an evolving workforce and regulatory environment, and the impact of changing consumer expectations.
