These four, along with our other Future Leaders and DELP Scholars, will help transform our profession for the better, and we are honored to help them develop their careers in this rewarding sector."Within Genesis, Mary Adams is Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion & Clinical Risk Management; Bonnie Zeiler is the Resident Care Director at The Village at Northrise in New Mexico; Teale Howe is the Market President in New Hampshire; and Jordanne Stuart is the Senior Administrator at Canyon Transitional Rehabilitation Center in New Mexico.

The program covers the latest theories and practical applications in quality management, customer satisfaction, and leadership. The year-long program kicks off with the "Future Leaders of Long Term Care in America" Symposium held each year in Washington, D.C.
AHCA/NCAL launched its Diversity Executive Leadership Program in 2022 to build a diverse pool of candidates to serve in leadership roles such as long term care committees and boards. Visit the Diversity Executive Leadership Program website to learn more.
