Moss selected fellow in Aging Services Leadership Program

GOSHEN — The American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging recently selected Anne Palmer Moss of Elant Inc. as a member of its Leadership Fellowship program. The program develops leaders in care for the aging and addresses the shortage of potential leaders nationwide. Only 35 executives from the long-term care field are accepted into the highly competitive fellowship program each year. Moss joined the Elant Foundation as the vice-president of development in the fall of 2005. In May, she spearheaded an Eldercare Summit, a discussion in the industry on elder care’s economic consequences. Coming out of the summit was the Foundation’s reference tool “Transitions: The Eldercare Resource Guide to the Hudson Valley,” designed to help people navigate the heath care system. Moss launched the Community Foundation of Orange County, which acquired more than $3 million in assets in less than five years. She has served on many boards, including the Orange County Partnership, the SUNY New Paltz Foundation, the Community Foundation of Orange County, and the Orange County Parks Master Plan Task Force. She helped found the non-profit Institute for Leadership and Management at Orange County Community College.
