LeadingAge Nebraska Membership

Organizational memberships (provider and business associate) are open to your entire organization. Most of our members include contact information for their management team, but there is no limit on the number of people on an account. 

LeadingAge Nebraska serves the entire state of Nebraska. A large majority of our members are rural, single-site providers. Our team regularly visits communities across the state to meet with members and provide education and support.

No. Membership with LeadingAge National is included for provider members and students. Business associate and individual memberships are state-only and do not include access to LeadingAge National resources. Organizations in those membership categories may choose to purchase a separate membership directly with LeadingAge National.

Provider memberships include full access to the education, advocacy, networking, and collaboration opportunities offered through both LeadingAge Nebraska and LeadingAge National. There are many ways to get involved and countless opportunities for education and support. 

LeadingAge Nebraska and LeadingAge National provide many free education offerings and resources to members. Most education offerings include a discounted member rate, typically priced at approximately half the non-member rate.

Yes, we maintain a membership directory for providers and business associates on our website. Some directories are only available to members.

Provider member dues are based on the provider service revenue of your organization in the most recent fiscal year. If your organization completes a 990 Form with the IRS, this can be found on Line 9. For for-profit and governmental organizations, we ask for the income you received from providing services related to membership. Your combined state and national membership will fall in one of ten tiers based on program service revenue. In some cases, membership dues are based on a flat fee based on the type of service provided. 

Yes. Business Associate memberships are available in tiered options, allowing organizations to choose the level of benefits and engagement opportunities that best fit their needs.

No, membership dues are paid annually and are not refundable. 

LeadingAge Nebraska and LeadingAge National regularly communicate with members about regulatory changes. We do this through virtual meetings, newsletters, member alerts and regular meetings. We’ll make sure you’re connected to all member communications so you don’t miss important updates, opportunities, and resources.

LeadingAge is the only national association representing the entire aging services ecosystem. This uniquely positions LeadingAge to support all types of services. In addition, LeadingAge specializes in supporting non-profit organizations. We have tools and resources that are specifically designed for this group of providers. Our members across Nebraska view us as a trusted resource and partner, providing support across a wide range of topics and challenges.

LeadingAge Nebraska offers opportunities for members to obtain several mandated trainings. 

• Nurse Aide & Med Aide Training: We partner with Avera Education and Staffing Solutions, which offers Nurse Aide and Medication Aide training. These courses are offered fully online and are designed to help prepare your community for approval of the onsite portion of the training. Members receive a discount on the use of this training platform.

LeadingAge Nebraska has a paid lobbyist that assists us with our legislative work throughout the year. LeadingAge Nebraska does most of our work through grassroots advocacy with our members, but our lobbyist supports formal work we do in the legislature. 

LeadingAge Nebraska is governed by a Board of Directors that is made up of members of the association. The bylaws of the association guide the formation of the board and terms of board members. 

Don’t let your membership become the gym membership you never use. Members are encouraged to stay engaged by participating in informational sessions and trainings, keeping us informed of staff changes, inviting us to visit their communities, and becoming fully involved with the association. In addition, our team is available to help members navigate individual questions and concerns.

Memberships operate on an annual calendar-year basis. Renewal notices will be sent to the billing contact for the organization in December and are due in January. Early renewals will receive additional discounts for the annual conference in March. Renewal notices are an ideal time to update your team members’ and organization information. These are sent via email, and dues can be paid by ACH, credit card, or mailing a check to the office.
