In addition to identifying the annual board slate, the committee also seeks rising leaders across the membership to serve on LeadingAge Ohio committees.
Board members help guide the strategic direction of the association, meeting quarterly in Columbus—with occasional virtual meetings to address timely issues. Board candidates must be senior leaders at a LeadingAge Ohio member organization and reflect the diversity of the association’s membership in experience, geography, services, and background. This year, the committee is especially seeking individuals with expertise in philanthropy, managed/value-based care, and workforce development.
Committee service is open to professionals at any stage of their career and offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to statewide efforts, grow professionally, and build connections across the field. Current openings include the Professional Development Committee, Affordable Housing Subcommittee, Home, Hospice & Palliative Care Committee (with an emphasis on Home Care), and the NF/AL Reimbursement Subcommittee.
To nominate yourself or a colleague, click here to complete the nomination form and email it to Molly Homan at mhoman@leadingageohio.org. Those interested in board service are also encouraged to contact Nominating Committee Chair Allison Salopeck at Allison.Salopeck@jenningsohio.org. Top You Asked: Are nursing homes required to have the State Fire Marshal conduct annual fire training on site each year?
We Answered: No. The Ohio Department of Health has confirmed nursing facilities may meet the state requirement by completing the General Fire Safety for Ohio Healthcare Facilities training, available through the Ohio Department of Health’s TRAIN website. This online training was developed in response to the State Fire Marshal’s limited capacity to conduct on-site training for every facility annually.
According to Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3701-17-25(E) on disaster preparedness and fire safety, each operator shall provide for annual training in fire prevention for regularly scheduled staff members on all shifts, to be conducted by the state fire marshal or township, municipal, or local legally constituted fire department. The operator shall require all staff members to be periodically instructed in the home's fire control and evacuation and disaster procedures and kept informed of their duties under the evacuation plan.
