Overview

The work of the Aging Life Care Professional® is rewarding; however, it can be stressful and cause one to feel isolated at times, especially in a small or solo practice. Aging Life Care Association™ (ALCA) Chapters offer opportunities to connect with professional colleagues, providing a venue in which everyone “speaks the same language,” regardless of individual professional disciplines.

Your ALCA Membership includes the valuable benefit of membership in one of our nine regional chapters. Chapters offer excellent opportunities to meet with colleagues on a local or regional basis. In addition to sharing and learning from one another, chapters provide a variety of opportunities for educational and professional growth.

Chapter Offerings

Each Chapter is committed to offering services that provide members with the following opportunities:

• Communication
• Education and Networking
• New Member Support
• Peer Supervision
• Professional Development and Leadership

Each Chapter may define services differently.

To learn more about our ALCA Regional Chapters, please visit each chapter’s website.
