Membership News
It was wonderful getting back to some old-fashioned, in-person networking this spring! After years of virtual breakout rooms and only knowing your peers through a camera lens, getting together for an evening felt like a breath of fresh air. We were so pleased to see many of our members and business partners in attendance and enjoyed getting to know you over food and drinks. If you were able to join us for our first Assisted Living Networking Night on April 25 at the City Street restaurant in Waltham, thank you again for coming, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Making real, meaningful connections with other assisted living professionals and business partners is an important driver of professional and business outcomes. Talking with different communities can enlighten and educate members on critical trends in assisted living. Engaging with new business contacts can also be vital to a community for times when they’re in need of specific goods or services. Mass-ALA is excited to continue providing spaces for our members to come together and really get the most value of our robust membership network.
We saw at our April Assisted Living Networking Night just how anxious we all are to get back together in person again. Members seemed to jump at the opportunity to get together. We saw over forty people in attendance at our local event, a higher turnout than anticipated, making it clear just how much people value face-to-face opportunities like this.
Want to get more involved in the network? Keep an eye out for another in-person networking opportunity later this year! In addition to these free networking events, we encourage you to check out any of our upcoming virtual Members/Business Partners Connections meetings and other in-person educational and ceremonial events. This includes our Regulations Training on June 13, Annual Excellence Awards Dinner on August 2, and Annual Conference & Tradeshow on November 2. Finally, we encourage all our assisted living members to participate in a committee (Education or Resident Care) that not only connects you with your peers, but also helps guide and drive Mass-ALA’s efforts. Please reach out to me if you would like to participate on a committee.
