WALA Administrator's Course
WALA has offered an Administrator's course to sold out crowds for the past 8 years. This year, as the Bureau of Assisted Living looks to implement new educational requirements for assisted living administrators, WALA has you covered.
WALA has rewritten our curriculum to specifically address the regulations and challenges that Wisconsin assisted living administrators face daily. With input from the BAL and some of the finest experienced administrators in the field, you will be able to take advantage of a wealth of knowledge formerly only available after years of hands-on experience. A new curriculum at a 33% discount over last year! Perfect for new managers as well as those seeking renewal and skill sharpening.
Join us at the Milwaukee Center for Independence on February 26 & 27, 2008. The brochure will be mailed in early January. Call the office for more information.
