Connect, Learn, and Lead—Now in a High-Impact, 2 Part -3-Hour Format for a total of 6 hours!

We heard your feedback and shortened our in-person sessions to just 3 hours—cutting down the full-day commitment from the spring so you get maximum value without spending all day away from your facility.

Regarding your attendance, it is extremely important to show up in-person for the council meeting whenever possible. In-person participation plays a critical role in our collective advocacy, networking, and regional engagement, allowing us to build strong bonds and directly connect on key long-term care issues across Georgia.

We are offering either a morning track or afternoon track at our six statewide locations, so you can get back to your day with time to spare! And EVERY SINGLE ONE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY OCCASION! We are celebrating and recognizing all of our award nominees and winners for the GHCA Affiliate Awards! Come celebrate with us and meet the nominees of your council region!
