Serving Like a Nonprofit, Performing Like a Business – Especially Now
Adult Day; AL; HCBS; IL; PACE; SNF/LTC

This session will explore the importance of dynamic, proactive, and agile governance in successfully and safely navigating today's senior living nonprofit organizations—especially in a post-COVID 19 world. Sufficient connection and alignment must be achieved and maintained across board governance, strategy, risk management, operations, ethical culture, and performance to address today's complexities and realities: the speed of doing business, the fast pace of change, industry disruption, new and more challenging risks, and higher levels of cultural stress. In short, how can we maintain our nonprofit values, mission orientation, and service mentality, yet be able to perform and compete at levels that will keep us relevant and thriving as a long-term player in the industry?

• Identify the necessity of "Next Gen Governance for a Next Gen World".
• Describe the concept of Enterprise (Strategic) Risk Management.
• Recognize the board's critical and heightened oversight role in today's environment.
