Seattle—
The Center for LTC Financing's "LTC Triathlon" report called upon
long-term care financiers, providers, and insurers to learn more about each
other's businesses and to forge stronger alliances for public policy advocacy.
(You can read and/or download the report in online at the Center's website at www.centerltc.org/pubs/triathlon.pdf.)
One good way to effectuate such learning is to attend conferences that have
strong content relevant to all three businesses. Here's one you should consider and may be able to attend as a
scholarship recipient: The 15th annual
Private Long-Term Care Insurance Conference sponsored by the Long-Term Care
Education Foundation. The event will be
held August 19-22, 2001 in Miami Fl.
According to the Foundation:
"The conference provides a non-partisan forum for educating attendees
about the evolving long term care insurance market, discussing the impact of
state and federal legislative policies on the marketplace, and fostering the
development of public-private partnerships to finance the nation's long term
care bill. . . . No other national
meeting provides an opportunity for the public and private sectors to come
together to discuss ways the private market and government can work together to
meet consumer need and reduce public Medicaid expenditures. Attendance has grown at each event, with
over 600 individuals present for the 2000 meeting. Those attending represent an array of interests, ranging from
state and federal policy makers, to long term care providers, to insurance
industry representatives. Collectively,
this group represents those individuals with the greatest expertise and
interest in shaping public policy affecting long term care financing."
Representatives of the Center for LTC Financing plan to attend and exhibit at
the event as we have done in past years.
As part of the conference, the Foundation has developed a scholarship program
that might be of interest to you or someone you know. The goal of the program is to offer financial assistance to individuals
that otherwise might not be able to attend, but that could benefit from the
information shared during the event.
Scholarship recipients will receive complimentary conference registrations as
well as reimbursement for air travel, hotel and meals not provided as part of
the conference program. Applications must be received by April 13, 2001. Recipients will be notified in writing by
May 18, 2001.
You can view and print the scholarship application online at www.ltcedfoundation.org/scholarship.html. Please direct all questions or requests for
additional
information to Diane Fulton at 703.968.8863 or dfulton@ltcedfoundation.org. Please do not contact the Center for LTC
Financing as we have no further information to share.
