Reminder: AHCA/NCAL’s 2026 Leadership Academy registration deadline is March 12th
February 27, 2026
Reminder: AHCA/NCAL’s 2026 Leadership Academy registration deadline is March 12th as the first meeting is on March 16th. This program is designed for leaders at all levels in your buildings or organization to build better trust with staff that has been found to be a key driver related to not just turnover and retention but also quality outcomes. In Mark’s book LTC Success, leaders who created a culture where staff felt valued and heard was the most common refrain explaining why these organizations were so successful. The academy runs from March 16th through October 6th of this year with 17 every other week virtual live sessions. Its ideally taken by at least two leaders in a building who can work together between sessions to use the hands-on exercises and tools. All sessions will be recorded in case participants miss a live one.
The faculty for this Academy – Jerald Cosey, Kate Hilton, Lindsay Martin, Courtney Bishnoi, Dr. David Gifford, and Darius McDonald have been running this Academy for the past three years.
Participants will also earn 24.75 NAB-Approved CE credits for administrators or 24.75 contact hours for nurses, plus receive complimentary enrollment in our new online course Building Trust: A Key Strategy to be an Effective Leader in Long Term Care launching April 2026.
The cost is $975 for AHCA/NCAL members and $1,175 for non-members.
Register by March 7th and save $100 with promo code Leader2026.
