"In 2001, as the newly selected President/CEO of AAHSA, I wanted to tap into the best thought leaders in our field. One of my first calls was to John Grace at ARI. John immediately helped us to understand the needs and wants of not for profit aging service providers, create a cohesive strategic plan to respond to them and most importantly successfully implement that plan over time,"
said Larry Minnix, president & CEO of AAHSA.
