Wonder what other surprises they 

might have up their sleeve.  Going forward,

it may be good to create an information sharing

methodology among our "partners".

Subject: LeadingAge Minnesota and Minnesota Adult Day Services Association Announce Merger

 

LeadingAge has been providing significant support services for MADSA (adult day services assn) for some time. MADSA has one part-time staff person. MADSA approached LeadingAge to discuss sustainability and together, they decided on a merger. The news was shared with Leading Age members today (see the announcement below).

 

Last week’s announcement about our move, only prompted one positive comment from a member, although the Informer may trigger a few more questions/comments. Also, it’s possible that this merger will lead our members to ask more questions.

 

On a related note, I am meeting with the CareProviders CEO this afternoon. She had heard we were merging with LeadingAge and appreciated the advanced notice and accurate information.

Dear Lisa,   We write today with exciting news about the future of adult day services in Minnesota!   The Boards of Directors for LeadingAge Minnesota and Minnesota Adult Day Services Association (MADSA) are pleased to announce the merger of our two associations, effective October 26, 2015.   We know adult day services represents a key part of the aging services spectrum and that together, we are well-positioned to represent Minnesota's largest community of adult day service providers. Members of both organizations will enjoy stronger capacity and have access to resources that help enrich their programs and support their participants and caregivers.   Our two organizations have long enjoyed an effective partnership - including shared services, educational events and public policy coordination. By bringing together our resources, expertise and capabilities under one banner, we are expanding opportunities to support adult day centers and informal caregivers across the state. We also have an opportunity to increase awareness in public audiences and the aging services field about adult day services.     You may have questions regarding this transition, so we've prepared a brief overview of the two organizations in this Fact Sheet and some Frequently Asked Questions to help share more about how this merger impacts your membership. We also invite you to contact Roni Falck, who will serve as the LeadingAge Minnesota Manager of Adult Day Services or Adam Suomala, Vice President of Membership and Strategic Affiliations at LeadingAge Minnesota with any questions.   Our respective boards voted unanimously for this merger, with excitement and anticipation for what the future holds.  We hope you are as excited as we are to take advantage of the new basket of services designed for Adult Day Programs. We welcome you to a new era of Association supports for Adult Day Programs and look forward to your involvement in shaping the future of Adult Day Services in Minnesota.     Sincerely,   Jon Lundberg Chair LeadingAge Minnesota Board of Directors  Joyce McIntosh Co-President MADSA Gail Skoglund Co-President MADSA
