"Being named a McKnight's Honoree is truly an honor and I'm proud to be among an elite group of women who make a tremendous impact in their career," said Jennifer.

The program, in its eighth year, recognizes women who have made significant contributions to the senior living, skilled nursing or home care fields. Veteran VIPs are women who have more than 15 years of experience in the industry and generally are at a level of lower than vice president or the equivalent.

Nominations were judged by an external panel of industry experts. All winners will be honored at our in-person celebration on May 4 in Chicago.
