Bring out the pink at this week’s NIC Conference in Dallas and show your support for women in seniors housing.
I hope you have noticed, like I have, the growing ranks of women in seniors housing and care. Think back 20 years ago at NIC, or even 10 years, and women were far and few between in attendance.
They are operators, investors, lenders, lawyers, brokers, appraisers, consultants – everything under the sun. And this makes perfect sense.
Our industry is an employer of women. Something like 75% or more of employees in seniors housing are women, and I am sure they all like to see other women in leadership roles. And, by seeing them in these roles, it is something they can aspire to. Hell, I have three daughters of my own, and I want nothing but success for them. And for my son too.
So, for those of you attending this week’s NIC Conference in Dallas, show your support for the Senior Housing Women’s Initiative by wearing pink on Thursday. As you can see, I am getting an early start. So, bring out the pink, and please stop and say hi to me and Ben, and our new colleague Andrew Rosen. See you around today, tomorrow and Friday.
