Mass-ALFA Committee Overview 2007
Education and Training Committee
The Education and Training Committee develops the overall program
content and strategy for delivering educational services to Mass-ALFA
members. The committee develops the educational content
for our training sessions and the Annual Fall Conference focused
on providing high quality learning for management and staff working
in our communities. The committee does long range planning and
research to assess the educational and training needs for assisted
living.
Events Committee
The Events Committee plans the major events for Mass-ALFA including the annual Community Star Awards Dinner in April and the September Fall Conference and Trade Show. The Annual Community Star Awards Dinner honors residents, staff and volunteers in assisted living. A silent auction and entertainment are part of the festivities and this year the theme is “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”. The annual Fall Conference and Trade Show includes educational programs on relevant issues in assisted living and features new products and services at the trade show. The theme for the 2007 conference is “Assisted Living Today: The Heart of the Matter”.
Quality Committee
The Quality Committee's goals are to identify and develop tools
and resources that assist with regulatory compliance and quality
improvement. The committee participates in and provides
input into the development of staff education and training programs
and policy initiatives. Task forces are developed, as needed,
to oversee data collection initiatives, identify quality outcomes
including principles or guidelines on a national and state level,
and research and identify overall measurement processes on the
quality of services and life for seniors.
The Medication Management Task Force,
part of the Quality Committee, works on issues related to medication
management within assisted living.
