Dear Colleague:

The New York State Health Facilities Association is requesting program proposals for its 64th Annual Convention and Trade Show which will be held June 23-26, 2013, at The Turning Stone Resort and Casino, Verona, NY. We are seeking topics that will provide our membership with current information on issues that face the long-term care industry.

In addition to the normal skilled nursing facility education sessions, this year’s convention will have two concurrent SNF programs. There will be a separate session for owners and a separate session for Resident Care Team employees.

Criteria for Selection:

  • Practical applicability Well-defined focus
  • Originality / Uniqueness Interactive style
  • Timeliness of subject Overall quality
  • Presenter qualifications Relevance to the industry
  • Innovation

Benefits for the Presenter:

  • Bring attention and recognition to your organization
  • Share your expertise and knowledge with others in the field
  • Showcase your accomplishments to leaders in the industry

Audience:

The New York State Health Facilities Association attracts professionals throughout New York who are from residential care and skilled nursing facilities to learn and share valuable information about today’s successful strategies and future trends.

The NYSHFA/NYSCAL Convention is attended by administrators, CEOs, CFOs, directors of nursing and financial managers of nursing facilities.

Session Format:

Sessions will be 2.0 or 3.0 hours in length.

IMPORTANT:
Please be as creative as possible with your instructional methods. Other than a lecture format, it is desirable to incorporate case studies, role playing, panel presentations, interactive discussions, point/counterpoint debates, interview scenarios, Q&A, etc., so the audience will be the maximum benefit from your session.
