Our Partnership with LeadingAge Connecticut
The LeadingAge Connecticut Leadership Academy is a regionally based leadership program that fosters and encourages leadership development within the LeadingAge Connecticut, LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware and LeadingAge Rhode Island member organizations. The Towers was thrilled to host the current cohort of leaders on January 15th and 16th 2026. The Leadership Academy offers a year of dynamic growth, connection, and transformative leadership development designed to elevate impact and expand potential. The Towers Director of Quality Operations, Tim Smith, has been accepted into the academy this year.
