2024 Annual Meeting

Join AALC owners, operators, and staff as we meet in person for our 2024 Annual Meeting.
Over a two-day period, we’ll learn about what is happening in Supportive Living, discuss topics of interest, understand changes in healthcare, and discover ways we can continue to make Supportive Living thrive! 

Arrive a bit early and see our Supportive Living Communities compete in the State Championship Wii Bowling & Trivia Competitions!  Both competitions will take place at Union Station (adjacent to the meeting headquarters) from 9 am - 12 noon
