Liz Dudek, director of Health Care Affairs in the Tallahassee office of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A., received the Florida Assisted Living Association’s (FALA) 2021 Sid Rosenblatt Excellence in Leadership Award on Aug. 4 during a virtual presentation.
The annual award, designed to honor Sid Rosenblatt, one of FALA’s founding members, is presented to an individual who has demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities within the assisted living industry as well as within the community. The award is the highest level of recognition presented by FALA.
Dudek is the first Sid Rosenblatt Excellence in Leadership Award recipient who was not a facility owner/operator or a FALA staff or member.
The Florida Assisted Living Association is the oldest assisted living association in the state. It has provided advocacy, education, and regulatory support for its members for more than 25 years. FALA is the largest state association representing more than 650 assisted living facilities and adult family care homes and nearly 300 associate members who provide products and services to assisted living.
“Having spent my career in health care, I am honored to receive the Florida Assisted Living Association’s 2021 Sid Rosenblatt Excellence in Leadership Award,” said Dudek. “Assisted living facilities throughout the state are at the forefront of serving some of our most fragile, vulnerable, and at-risk populations and we all have to work together to provide the services needed for the elderly in our community.”
