Catholic Leader's Symposium

Conference Topics

Topics will address trends and changes within the Catholic senior housing and services sector, to enhance your understanding of the industry’s best practices and innovations.

Navigating Disruption - It’s All About Timing

Disruption is defined as “a disturbance that interrupts an event, activity or process.” As 10,000 Boomers turn 65 each day, single site care communities seek partners to maintain solvency and mergers of large and small magnitude become the norm, disruption is clearly commonplace in our field of aging services. As faith-based organizations, we need to be aware, to be willing to abandon a traditional model and - most importantly - to act before it’s too late for sustainability. This Keynote will inform as well as inspire you to evolve in order to succeed in the changing marketplace.

In addition to sharing recent statistics on the consolidation of the sector, this session will delve into joint venture partnerships, affiliations and even collaborative development projects between Catholic and non-Catholic providers.
