Elizabeth Lane will join LeadingAge Florida as director of Education and Events, the organization announced in a Wednesday news release.

“My goal is to build on the strong foundation of professional development and events at LeadingAge Florida,” she said in a prepard statement. “I’m excited to engage the LeadingAge Florida membership and deliver outstanding experiences at Advocacy in Action and the 53rd Annual Convention in Boca Raton.”

She previously was with the Florida chapter of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists and the Florida Association of Consultant Pharmacists.

She joins communications director Greg Ungru, formerly with the Republican Party of Florida and the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity, also hired by the nonprofit aging advocacy group this year.

LeadingAge Florida was formerly known as Florida Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, founded in 1963, and represents continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), nursing homes and assisted living facilities, among others.

Before joining Florida Politics, journalist and attorney James Rosica was state government reporter for The Tampa Tribune. He attended journalism school in Washington, D.C., working at dailies and weekly papers in Philadelphia after graduation. Rosica joined the Tallahassee Democrat in 1997, later moving to the courts beat, where he reported on the 2000 presidential recount. In 2005, Rosica left journalism to attend law school in Philadelphia, afterwards working part time for a public-interest law firm. Returning to writing, he covered three legislative sessions in Tallahassee for The Associated Press, before joining the Tribune’s re-opened Tallahassee bureau in 2013.
