"Thank you for what proved to be a fantastic experience. As a speaker it is a big relief to work with an association who is organized and does everything first class. I hope you heard some of the positive comments I received from those attending my programs. I welcome the opportunity to work with the IHCA convention team again. Have a wonderful day"
Richard Avdoian
Speaker at 2006 IHCA Convention & Trade Show
I have to say again what a well planned and organized convention. My sessions were set up and ready to go, monitors were gracious and engaging, audiences were especially attentive. My handouts were in place and the tech folks helped out when needed. It went well for me. I especially appreciated attending the Volunteer Recognition dinner. Such an event provides me with great memories. I’m glad your association takes the time and effort to find the folks who provide the extra meaning and heart to the facilities. Please pass along my congratulations to those who put together such a wonderful presentation.

John W. Maitland, Jr.-Joseph F. Warner
Long Term Care Nurses Scholarship Fund
Each year, the John W. Maitland, Jr.-Joseph F. Warner Long-Term Care Nurses Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to individuals seeking to pursue nursing degrees and employment in long-term care in Illinois.
The fund was created to honor Senator John W. Maitland, Jr., and Joseph F. Warner, two champions of long-term care in Illinois.
Senator Maitland is considered to have done more to advance the needs of the long-term care profession and residents in the General Assembly than any other elected official in Illinois. Warner is credited with spending countless hours educating legislators and elected officials about long-term care issues. A former IHCA board president, he truly valued the power of education and his company, Heritage Enterprises, Inc., annually awards continuing education scholarships to employees.
The Maitland-Warner Long Term Care Nurses Scholarship fund will award up to 10 $500 scholarships for the 2007-2008 school year. To qualify, an applicant:
- Must have completed the prerequisites for an RN or LPN program and be accepted into a nursing program on a full-time or part-time basis.
- Must be working in an assisted living or long-term care facility (either full-time or part-time), or be a full-time student in a nursing program and have an interest in long-term care nursing.
- Must provide proof of satisfactory completion of the semester for which the scholarship is awarded.
- Should be willing to work as an RN or LPN in an IHCA -member facility/program.
The John W. Maitland, Jr. – Joseph F. Warner Long Term Care Nurses Education Trust was created and accepted by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) in 2004, with the intent of generating sufficient investment income to create a perpetual nurse scholarship fund. Trustees include JoAnne Maitland, Rose Stadel, Bill Kempiners , David Voepel, and Tammy Woolsey.
