The Educational Institute on Aging (EIA) is a 501(c)(3) subsidiary foundation

of LeadingAge Texas (www.leadingagetexas.org) that serves as a forum to

promote accessible educational opportunities and professional development to

LeadingAge Texas members.

The proceeds from both events benefit EIA scholarships for LeadingAge Texas

members to attend educational events throughout the year including the

LeadingAge Texas Annual Conference & Solutions EXPO Over $20,000 in

scholarship funds was awarded last year to members who span the spectrum of

aging services disciplines—from students working toward careers in the

field to those currently serving older Texans as certified nursing assistants

(CNAs), nurses, HR professionals, social workers, chaplains, and more.

Please include any other relevant information below.: By nature of the

LeadingAge Texas membership being made up of not-for-profit aging services

providers, tight budgets come into play & some members experience difficulty

in funding employees' professional development. Thus, EIA scholarships are a

much-needed option—access to continuing education & professional growth are

vital to retaining quality employees, encouraging future leaders in the

field, and providing exceptional service to older Texans throughout the

spectrum of care!
