Hoak Announces Resignation from HCAOA in October

​Late last week, Home Care Association of America reported CEO Vicki Hoak announced her resignation. She will continue to lead the organization until her last day, Oct. 24, 2023, after the National Home Care Conference. After three years Hoak intends to focus on other areas of interest and spend time with her family.
 
“I look forward to the next six months to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition,” Hoak said. “We will concentrate on continuing our strong advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C. as well as our state chapters’ advocacy efforts. [I am also focused] on making this year’s national homecare conference in Chicago, the biggest and best yet. No other homecare conference has the breadth of excellent and relevant education, superb information that focuses on technology and business opportunities and of course, productive networking opportunities with both providers and HCAOA’s associate members.”

“Vicki has been an excellent leader and advocate for homecare for the Home Care Association of America,” said HCAOA Board President Jeff Wiberg. “She stepped into the role just before the pandemic hit and both led and grew the organization during incredibly challenging times.”
 
“My time with HCAOA will remain one of the highlights of my entire professional career,” Hoak continued. “While this position has been challenging, I have learned so much. I will cherish the many relationships I have developed with so many of our members and leave at a time when the future of this industry looks so bright.”
  
“I am extremely proud of HCAOA’s accomplishments and confident in the organization’s future. The support and hard work of our Board of Directors, state chapter leaders, national committees and staff have positioned HCAOA for continued success,” Hoak said. “I have devoted most of my professional career to representing the home care industry, but now it is time for me to focus on other areas of interest, especially spending more time with my family. Thank you for this very special time.”
 
A transition plan, which includes a national search for a replacement has begun.
