McKnight's Women of Distinction

McKnight’s Senior Living and sister media brand McKnight’s Long-Term Care News have launched the Women of Distinction awards to recognize women who have made significant contributions to the senior housing and care field, as well as those who are rising stars.

Eligible for recognition are women working as direct care providers, managers, executives, corporate executives and owners in independent living, assisted living, memory care and life plan communities, as well as those working in these capacities in skilled nursing facilities.

Awards will be bestowed in two categories:

  • The Hall of Honor will recognize candidates who are at a level equivalent to vice president or higher who have made a significant impact on their organization or the industry.
  • Rising Stars must be less than 40 years old or have fewer than 15 years of experience in the industry, and they must have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the senior housing and care field.

Nominations will be accepted until Jan. 18 at no charge. From Jan. 19 to 31, a late fee of $25 will apply. Nominators should be prepared to share nominees’ work history, exceptional achievements and contributions or service, and anything else that the judging panel should consider.
