Summary

First Association 100% Focused on Senior Housing Dining

The SDA is the first professional / trade organization focused entirely on dining for the senior housing industry. 


Our purpose is to connect and educate hospitality industry professionals with careers in senior housing and support current talent with the training and resources they need to achieve their personal best.


“Food is at the heart of any senior living community,” said association founder and CEO Harris Ader, a 20-year senior food service veteran. “The SDA is committed to improving the industry by bringing operators and industry partners together.”


Your SDA membership shows your staff that you care about their development and their careers. We offer a wide array of opportunities for both remote and live classroom learning.


By having more education on industry trends and sharing best dining practices among all senior housing professionals, you're investing in yourself and your organization. 


Webinars and SDA video chats—free for all members—allow them to pursue career development from the convenience of their own locations. 


By bringing your employees into the SDA, you also give them a sense of belonging to a larger community. No longer will your staff feel isolated from their peers. Forums and SDA events help energize them and make it clear they are part of an exciting, fast-growing industry.


The SDA’s conference and expo offers a wide range of learning opportunities as well as a chance to network with committed professionals across the country. The conference and expo is the industry’s foremost gathering of senior dining professionals, providing an unmatched opportunity to pick up essential skills and remind yourself why you’re passionate about senior dining.


We want you and your team to be re-energized as you hone your skills and make new connections with senior dining professionals around the country.


Don’t wait, invest in your people & your organization!
