The Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (KAHSA) Annual Quality First Awards of Excellence Program recognizes members and individuals who have engaged in efforts that will strengthen the field of Aging Services and improve the quality of life for elders, employees, and future consumers in Kansas. Please join KAHSA and Central National Bank in recognizing those colleagues who have made great advances in the care and support of elders in the field of Aging Services. This is the 20th year of honoring our members. A special celebratory brunch will be held in honor of the program in conjunction with the ceremony at 9:15 a.m. on April 30th, 2010 in the Hyatt Regency Ballroom. We are excited to announce that Winthrop Marshall, AAHSA Board Chair will be joining us as Emcee of the program in honor of our anniversary.
