title: A state association approach to the policy and politics of the worker shortage.
abstract: In January 2000, the Board of Directors of the Home & Health Care Association (H&HCA), identified the issue of worker recruitment and retention as a "critical issue" in the Association's strategic plan. With a different perspective from its employer/agencies, the Association began to devote more resources (staff time) to the issue, tapping into what was already happening in the state and proposing some solutions of its own.
