Speakers will be Covenant Living Communities and Services CEO Terri Cunliffe, RiverSpring Living Chief Operating Officer David Pomeranz, Life Plan Communities Senior Vice President/Senior Director Allison Pendroy, and Goodman Group Vice President Kim Te Brugge. Cunliffe and Te Brugge were inducted into the McKnight’s Women of Distinction Hall of Honor on Tuesday.

It will start at 12:15 p.m. ET and feature Christian Living Communities President and CEO Jill-Vitale Aussem, Brookdale Senior Living President and CEO Lucinda “Cindy” Baier, A.G. Rhodes CEO Deke Cateau, and Eclipse Senior Living CEO Kai Hsiao. Baier is a 2020 McKnight’s Hall of Honor inductee.
The third session, “Secrets to career success,” will start at 1:30 p.m. ET and lead with Ousley, who is chief strategy officer for PruittHealth.
