Succession Planning

Every day of our lives, in some way or another, we experience the opportunity to lead or to follow. In order for each of us to be successful in our professional and personal lives, it is essential that we are able to recognize the qualities of a good leader, to be an active contributing member of the team, and to know when to lead and when to follow. Please join us for Succession Planning presented by Margaret Niederkohr CAP-OM

Join us on Tuesday February 21, 2012 at Marion General Hospital 1000 McKinley Park Drive. The evening will start at 5:30 pm with dinner and networking and the program will run from 6:00 to 7:00 pm with a half hour business meeting following the presentation.

Retirement Trust Foundation

Greetings fellow IAAP members! The Retirement Trust Foundation is helping our own – Admin to Admin. Vista Grande is a great retirement facility for those admins who wish to retire to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. There is also the Housing Subsidy for Admins in Need (HSAN) program for those who live in retirement facilities elsewhere and are within the guidelines of the HSAN program.

Once again the deadline to submit an application to receive assistance from the HSAN program is fast approaching. Applications must be received at Headquarters by May 15th, 2012.

Do you know an admin who has worked their entire life and now ready to retire is finding it hard to make ends meet? In these economic times many of us are struggling to raise our families, keep our jobs and save for retirement.

It’s refreshing to know that an organization like the RTF has successfully raised funds so admins who find themselves in need of housing assistance have somewhere to turn. Let’s continue our quest in spreading the word about the HSAN program! The RTF has the funds to help.

Any takers? Check the RTF website at www.IAAP-RTF.org for the application and qualifying criteria.
