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!
