? Thank You for Making Advocacy Day a Success! ? A heartfelt thank you to all our LeadingAge Wisconsin members who joined us at the State Capitol in Madison for Advocacy Day! Your willingness to share your stories and experiences with our state legislators is what makes our advocacy efforts not only impactful but truly memorable. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the legislators who took the time to engage with us, especially Rep. Tony Kurtz, Sen. Patrick Testin, Sen. La Tonya Johnson, and Rep. Thaddeus "Tip" McGuire who participated in our legislative panel discussion. Your insights, perspectives, and commitment to open dialogue help strengthen our collective efforts to support aging services in Wisconsin. Every conversation, every shared experience, and every moment spent advocating makes a difference. Together, we are stronger. Thank you for being a part of this important work! ????? #AdvocacyInAction #ThankYou #StrongerTogether #AgingServices

Congratulations to Patrick LeMire, CIC for being named Board Chair at Easterseals Wisconsin! We deeply appreciate your commitment to serving people with disabilities and are proud to have you as part of our LeadingAge Wisconsin community. We're sure you will do great things as Board Chair!
We are excited to announce Patrick LeMire, CIC of Stoughton, Wis., as our new Chair of the Board of Directors. LeMire, who has served on the board for 12 years, succeeds Andy Crooks and will hold the position for a two-year term.

Member Spotlight: Lutheran Home & Harwood Place in Wauwatosa has cracked the code on long-term care staffing—by using every tool in the toolbox. In an industry where workforce shortages are the norm, Lutheran Home & Harwood Place has taken an innovative, multi-pronged approach to recruitment and retention. Their strategy? Not one magic fix, but a combination of smart, people-focused solutions: ? An in-house CNA training program to grow talent from within ? An on-site child care center to support working parents ? A 24/7 staff gym for self-care and stress relief ? Early wage access through PayActiv to provide financial flexibility ? And perhaps the most unique of all: A Director of Caregiver Support role, filled by the incredible Stephanie Leanes, dedicated to supporting caregivers with education, resources, and emotional support. The result? A thriving, engaged workforce and nearly zero reliance on agency staff. This is what happens when organizations truly invest in their people. Read more about how The Lutheran Home is setting a new standard for workforce solutions in long-term care: https://lnkd.in/eCRxtGVK What innovative workforce strategies have you seen in action? Let’s start a conversation! ?? #WorkforceSolutions #LongTermCare #Leadership #Retention #Innovation
