One state association, two very different rooms.
Pennsylvania runs two labor markets at once. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh anchor the ends with large systems and competitive hiring, while the middle and north of the state are rural, older, and staffed by facilities where one resignation reshuffles an entire schedule. A statewide conference audience in Harrisburg is usually half system executives and half small-town administrators, and a keynote that only speaks to one of them loses the room.
Chris works both sides of that line every week. He runs national healthcare staffing organizations that fill roles in metro systems and rural facilities alike, and he has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including LeadingAge Illinois and health care associations in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado, audiences with exactly the same split.
