AHCA/NCAL’s Leadership Academy Deadline is Tomorrow  

AHCA/NCAL’s 2026 Leadership Academy registration deadline is March 12 as the first meeting is on March 16.   

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 Parkinson’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 16 through October 6 of this year with 17 bi-weekly virtual live sessions. It’s ideally taken by at least two leaders in a building who can work together between sessions to use 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. Register here and save $100 with promo code Leader2026. If you or any questions, contact leadershipacademy26@ahca.org.
