In this episode of Voices in Leadership, the mic turns to host Melissa Andrews, President and CEO of LeadingAge Virginia, as she’s interviewed by her husband, Todd Andrews, COO of Asbury Communities. Melissa reflects on her path into aging services—from an unexpected start at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale to a 14-year tenure at LeadingAge National—and the mentors who helped shape her leadership along the way. She shares how LeadingAge Virginia has evolved to represent a broader continuum of care, with a growing focus on community-based services, workforce development, and the people behind the mission. The conversation also explores her passion for mentoring, building career pathways, and investing in future leaders. Looking ahead, Melissa outlines her vision for the next five years, including building momentum around a multi-sector plan on aging and advancing long-term services and supports reform in Virginia.
