A Call for Leadership in Aging
Four Hartford Leadership Development Projects
The Hartford Foundation ensures that leadership development components
are built into its many initiatives. This Annual Report illustrates how four
Hartford-funded projects in the fields of nursing, social work, and medicine
incorporate the leadership development strategies of formal training, mentoring,
peer networking, and encouraging a new generation to answer the call to lead.
These four projects are:
Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity Leadership
Conference
Social Work Faculty Scholars Policy Leadership Institute
Association of Directors of Geriatric Academic Programs:
Geriatrics Leadership Scholars Program
Geriatric Nursing Leadership Academy
The first three projects provide nurses, social workers, and physicians in
academic settings with the tools to recognize themselves
as leaders and prepare them to seize opportunities to promote
geriatrics within their institution, as well as in the wider community. The
fourth project offers leadership training in the clinical setting to position
nurse supervisors to enact system-wide reforms in the care of older adults.
