Founded in 1937, LeadingAge Ohio is an organization of approximately 280 not-for-profit retirement communities, nursing homes, senior housing sites and home and community-based service providers working to improve the quality of life for over 30,000 Ohio seniors cared for by its members each year.

Leadership Needed for Resident Forum Steering Committee
 
The activities of the LeadingAge Ohio Resident Forum are directed by the Resident Forum Steering Committee. This group of residents from around the state meet 2 times annually in Columbus and by regular conference calls. Their decisions help Ohio seniors enjoy a better quality of life. Some of the activities and issues they have tackled include:

• Legislative testimony and advocacy on "Return to Home", the Congressional Senior Commission, Medicaid payment reductions, and other state and federal laws under consideration that affect our not-for-profit homes, housing and service providers.
• Sponsorship and hosting of the "LeadingAge Ohio Stars Employee Recognition Program" to offer thanks and support to non-supervisory workers in not-for-profit organizations.
• Sponsoring and promoting the Resident Forum Art and Writing Regional and Statewide Art and Writing Exhibitions.
• The Steering Committee is supported by staff of LeadingAge Ohio and LeadingAge Ohio member organizations in carrying out their goals and objectives. No clerical work or "hands on" labor is needed. Resident leaders are needed for relationship building with other residents and legislators, ideas and decisions regarding the activities of the Forum.
