The Green House Project Honors Women Leaders on its Elevate Eldercare Podcast
In celebration of Women’s History Month, The GREEN HOUSE® Project (GHP) is proud to announce its podcast, Elevate Eldercare, will release on Wednesday, March 31, an episode that highlights 19 women leaders of senior living.
GHP Senior Director Susan Ryan and her colleagues Education Project Manager Mary Hopfner-Thomas and Director of Resource Development Marla DeVries sat down together to reflect on the incredible women leaders that have appeared as guests on Elevate Eldercare since its launch last July.
“A year into the pandemic, we are thrilled to take a look back at these courageous women who stepped up and took action, allowing their passion and quest for social justice to mobilize solutions and teams amid undoubtedly the most horrific experience in our history,” said Ryan. “Their stories are unique, yet eerily similar, in that each voice became a guiding and stabilizing force that provided solid leadership within their spheres of influence during profound uncertainty and fear.”
