ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing and Care Industry (NIC) recently announced the members of its Future Leaders Council (FLC) class of 2017.
The FLC was initiated five years ago to provide young, emerging leaders with a unique opportunity to help advance NIC’s mission by contributing to the work of NIC Committees and task forces, develop volunteer leadership skills and form meaningful professional relationships with current NIC leaders.
“Members of the FLC collectively represent the best and the brightest who are committed both to the mission and work of NIC and to advancing the products and services available to meet the housing and care needs of America’s seniors,” said Kramer.
This year, the FLC is focused on three major areas of advancing targeted NIC initiatives, educating new sources of capital about seniors housing and care, and preparing future leaders of NIC.
The FLC is currently participating in the following NIC sponsored initiatives and committees:
- NIC Research Committee
- University Internship Program
- NIC Investment Guide Update
- Financial Benchmarking Initiative
- Skilled Nursing Data Initiative
- Debt-lender Survey Initiative
- National Conference Planning Committee Support
- Regional Conference Planning Committee
In addition, the FLC has developed its own Idea Lab through which each year FLC members develop and propose to NIC leadership a new initiative to further advance NIC’s mission.
Each of the 26 FLC members, selected through a highly competitive application process, are comprised of professionals from some of the leading companies in the seniors housing and care and finance sectors. Members serve three-year terms and meet as a group quarterly to discuss NIC-sponsored initiatives and programs.
Members must have between five and ten years of relevant work experience. They are nominated by senior level executives within their respective companies and are required to complete a detailed application and participate in an interview as requested by the FLC Oversight Committee.

- Matthew Buchanan
