She serves our members exceptionally well, and her knowledge, experience, and commitment to member service will be critical for our continued growth.”
In her new role, Ms. Jiménez will continue to oversee LeadingAge Florida’s daily operations, as well as driving operational efficiencies, managing new member growth initiatives and implementing innovative non-dues revenue strategies.
