MISSION

The LeadingAge New York IGNITE Leadership Academy is a professional development program designed to facilitate the development and growth of senior living leaders in the state. We began the program in 2013 when members who had participated in the national LeadingAge Leadership Academy urged us to develop a program at the state level. The academy focuses on internal and external relationship building, the sharing of best practices, and a passion for continuous learning.

VISION

To create an engaged group of transformational senior living leaders who are prepared to serve their own organizations and support the goals of LeadingAge New York in an exemplary and innovative fashion.

  • Learn how leaders become more authentic as they clarify their personal values and create their own unique leadership legacy

  • Understand what it means to be a visionary leader who embraces culture change and innovation

  • Adopt the practices required for networking and partnership building within and outside the organization

  • Manage energy levels for high performance and model behaviors that enhance personal credibility
