Conduct educational seminars throughout the state for member and non-member long-term care personnel dealing with topics specific to all aspects of the provision of long-term health care to the state's elderly and disabled population.

Educational seminars are also provided at the event for which licensed personnel can attend and earn continuing education credits.

Sponsor a 2 day annual fall convention and business meeting for all members for the purpose of reviewing and assessing the activities of the past year as well as approving an annual budget for the ensuing year.

The new board will generally set up and approve an operational agenda for the coming year in view of current and pending laws and regulations. Educational seminars are also provided at the event, for which licensed personnel can attend and qualify for continuing educational credits. Non-members may attend but are excluded from the business meeting portion of the event.
