 Atlanta, GA — The Georgia Senior Living Association (GSLA) Board, Members, and staff deeply mourn the loss of founding board member and senior living pioneer Alex Salabarria—a visionary leader, dedicated mentor, and faithful friend to the senior living space. As one of the pioneers of senior living in Georgia, Alex dedicated his life to making the senior living industry and staff culture what they are today. His mentorship and leadership impacted nearly every senior living executive in our Association, setting a standard of compassion and dedication. Alex left an indelible mark; whether you worked with him, for him, or met him briefly, you know his extraordinary ability to see and value people. His unwavering support for the staff caring for Georgia’s most vulnerable population was a testament to his character. “Alex’s legacy is more than just a reflection of the past – it is an ongoing journey of significance that will continue to shape this industry's future,” said GSLA President and CEO Catie Ramp. “Alex saw people and potential and never failed to intertwine the two. If you were blessed enough to know him, you realized his teams pushed him forward, his residents inspired him, and his faith directed him.” Alex Salabarria’s warmth and wisdom will be dearly missed and remembered by those who carry forward his commitment to advancing senior living in Georgia. May we all aspire to live as Alex did—“toes in the sand, martini in hand.” Alex Salabarria 1967 – 2024 Legend. Leader. Friend. In tribute to Alex’s invaluable contributions, Michelle Minor, President of Second Wind Dreams and GSLA Immediate Past Chair, will now assume the position of Chair of the Chair Emeritus Council. |
