Affiliate Partner

An Affiliate Partner is a non-voting industry supporter of the Aging Life Care Association® (ALCA). Affiliate Partners are professionals currently working directly with clients in a paid position in or adjacent to the Aging Life Care management space, or an executive of an Aging Life Care business.

This category is designed for professionals who want to be connected to ALCA and benefit from educational opportunities who do not currently qualify for an individual Aging Life Care membership.

Affiliate Partners must meet the following prerequisites:

  • Currently working directly with clients in a paid position in or adjacent to the Aging Life Care management space, or an executive of an Aging Life Care Business.
  • Agree to adhere to the ALCA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
  • Hold an Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree**; a Diploma in Nursing; or hold a recognized license such as Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA), or Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA).

**A minimum of five years of full-time paid professional experience may be submitted in lieu of a degree. ALCA will consider employment experiences within the last 10 years towards eligibility.
