PRESBYTERIAN SENIORCARE NETWORK HIRES NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Todd R. Boslau
On July 30, 2020, in Oakmont, PA, Presbyterian SeniorCare Network President and CEO, Paul Winkler, announced the hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer after completing a thorough four-month national search process.
“We are thrilled to share that a local and well-known colleague, Todd R. Boslau, CPA, will be joining our team early in September to serve in this mission-critical leadership role,” said Winkler. “Todd is well known and highly respected within the non-profit, senior services network, and has a reputation as a strong collaborator and great mentor.”
Winkler shared that the organization’s search committee received resumes from more than 30 qualified candidates, completed interviews with approximately a half dozen of the applicants and narrowed the field to a select few, who completed additional interview rounds.
According to Winkler, it was providential that Mr. Boslau emerged as the final choice through the national search process. Many of the Network’s finance and leadership team have known Todd for years as Audit Partner, with the firm Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLC. Winkler noted, “Todd has actually served as the partner-in-charge of the audits of Presbyterian SeniorCare and most of our affiliate entities for many years, and is already well-known to board members and leaders across our Network.”
For the past 25 years, Mr. Boslau has worked for accounting firms that are now part of Baker Tilly where he started his career after graduating from Grove City College with a degree in Accounting. His extensive experience includes as serving as the lead partner in charge of the firm’s Healthcare Practice, including the western PA senior living services practice since 2007 as well as their lead HUD housing expert. Additionally, he has served as a member of the CARF Financial Advisory Panel and a regular presenter at LeadingAge state conferences. CARF is an international, not-for-profit accreditation organization that promotes quality, value, and optimal outcomes by conducting surveys to assure that quality standards are being met. LeadingAge is the national association representing 6,000 not-for-profit organizations across the entire field of aging services.
Mr. Boslau, who also will serve as an officer of the organization, said, “I am looking forward to leveraging my 25 years working in public accounting including my last 13 years focused on healthcare and long term care organizations for the benefit of Presbyterian SeniorCare Network.”
Boslau and his wife, Adrienne, live in Hampton Township, along with their two sons, Lincoln, age 5, and Evan, age 3.
Todd R. Boslau will join Presbyterian SeniorCare Network as chief financial officer in September 2020.

4 LinkedIn Features to Power Your 2020 Job Search
January 21, 2020
They'll help you learn about openings and pay and let you stand out If you’ve resolved to find a job in 2020, I think you’ll want to know about four features LinkedIn rolled out over the past two years that might help you land one. They’re available to all LinkedIn users, so you don’t need to pay for a LinkedIn Premium membership (about $48 to $65 a month) to enjoy them. I’ll detail the features in a just moment. But first, a reminder that before making any updates to your LinkedIn Profile, and I mean any, be sure to turn off the notifications LinkedIn sends to your network. You don’t want to mistakenly alert your employer that you’re in job search mode or unnecessarily annoy your friends. To silence those pesky LinkedIn notifications:
When you do want others to see your LinkedIn notifications, toggle back to Yes. This tool can help you find employers that pay well — and gear up to negotiate a great starting salary. Now, here are details on the four LinkedIn features that can help power your job search this year: 1. LinkedIn Pages (formerly known as LinkedIn Company Pages) In late 2018, LinkedIn launched LinkedIn Pages, a terrific feature that can help you learn about millions of potential employers — and connect easily to their jobs. The refreshed Pages hold a treasure trove of information for job seekers, including salary data, funding and investor news, links to videos and more. Two especially helpful features on LinkedIn Pages:
2. Customize your LinkedIn news feed with #hashtags LinkedIn now gives you the ability to follow #hashtags in your LinkedIn news feed. So, for example, if you’re interested in shifting into the green space, you can follow hashtags for #sustainability or #greenjobs. It’s a great way to diversify your feed to include stories about where you want to head, as opposed to simply where you’ve been. To follow #hashtags, input the term you want to follow (preceded by the # symbol) in the main LinkedIn search bar. Then, click on the Follow button to get automatic updates in your feed. 3. Salary Insights Tool I reviewed this tool when it was introduced in 2016 (under the name LinkedIn Salary) and found it lacking. But I’m happy to report that following an overhaul in early 2018, it’s now greatly improved. Salary Insights provides a detailed breakdown of salaries by job title and location. The data comes from salary ranges provided by employers. But if an employer hasn’t provided salary information, LinkedIn shows an estimated range based on member-submitted data. You can see how salaries differ from employer to employer. You’ll also find salary insights parsed by region, years of experience, industry focus and company size, among other filters. It’s a lot of data to digest, and like other salary research tools, not every job title is represented. But this tool can help you find employers that pay well — and gear up to negotiate a great starting salary. To see this tool in action, go to the LinkedIn Salary page and input your desired job title and location in the search bar labeled “Discover your earning potential.” 4. LinkedIn Skills Assessments Finally, I want to close with a LinkedIn feature that is still being refined and not yet available to all users but looks promising enough to merit a mention. In September 2019, LinkedIn rolled out LinkedIn Skills Assessments — 15 to 20 timed multiple-choice questions about particular skills. If you pass the test because of your skills, you get to display a verified skill badge on your LinkedIn profile. If you don’t, your results will stay private. By being able to verify your skills, you can better stand out from the job-hunting pack and become more discoverable to opportunities. According to LinkedIn, preliminary results show that candidates who completed LinkedIn Skill Assessments were about 30% more likely to get hired than those who didn’t. Currently, LinkedIn offers skills assessments in tech, business and design, with plans to expand into other areas (if available, you’ll find them in the skills section of your LinkedIn Profile). Regardless of your Skills Assessment results, LinkedIn will tell you how you did on its test and unlock relevant free LinkedIn Learning courses for a limited time period (a benefit that’s normally reserved for Premium members).
