Mr. Prince will be leading an interactive talk on Leadership in a Changing Healthcare Environment, a topic that is relevant to providers, consumers, and anyone who advocates for disability rights and systems change. This workshop will develop attendees’ leadership skills and the command necessary to anticipate, plan and lead through change. Mr. Prince is a veteran speaker at several national and state level conferences, including the National Association for Home Care & Hospice, the New Jersey Home Care and Hospice Association and the New England Home Care and Hospice Association.
