New Ventures In Leadership
https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-society-on-aging
They recognize that differences of thought and perspective provide richer solutions to society's complex challenges. The American Society on Aging stands behind this ideal by offering New Ventures in Leadership (NVL), a 12-month program that champions the leadership potential of professionals of color and their critical role in the field of aging. 

NVL is the only program in the field of aging designed to develop the next generation of leaders of color—individuals dedicated to being leaders within their organizations, and committed to meeting the needs of older adults, including elders of color. The program’s primary goal is to help Partners enhance their abilities toward improving elders’ quality of life, health, safety and economic security in culturally appropriate ways. Partners will explore and expand leadership skills and knowledge of cultural competency through assessments and training sessions, web-based learning modules, mentoring and coaching.

In addition, any suggestions or ideas presented to her were explored as potential opportunities to expand the knowledge, reach and importance of our goals for the organization.  Aisha is a passionate and viable leader in the field of Gerontology who will definitely leave footprints for others to follow.
