CEO/TRUSTEE ROUNDTABLE: INNOVATION IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE

The full conference package fee does not include the CEO/Trustee Roundtable. No discounts are offered. Lunch is included with the registration. 

Innovation is a catchword which many people love to hate. Every business leader knows that it is important, but often can't agree on what is actually is or what it means. In an interactive panel format, three leading experts discuss their definition of innovation and how they have incorporated it into their organizations. Presenters will then participate in roundtable discussions to talk mistakes, how to change the conversation or perspective about innovation within an organization and what works and doesn't when talking about innovation.

Presenters: 

• Robert Kramer, Founder & Strategic Advisor, National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC)
• Kari Olson, Chief Innovation & Technology Officer, Front Porch & President, front Porch Center for Innovation & Wellbeing
• Ted Fischer, CEO & Founder, Ageless Innovation, LLC
• Moderator: Jeannee Parker Martin, President & CEO, LeadingAge California
