—

Why did two “mega” organizations serving consumers with complex needs merge? What is their model for future success? And what is the likely effect on the market landscape in the states in which they operate?

Those are a few of the issues that Patrick Maynard, President and CEO of Boundless, who will now lead the Boundless Midwest division following the affiliation with Merakey USA, will answer in this information-packed keynote session.

Prior to the partnership, Boundless was a $90 million family of nonprofit companies operating statewide in Ohio and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and behavioral health challenges since 1980. Merakey was a nonprofit provider of developmental, behavioral health, and education services since 1969, with more than 8,000 employees providing support to nearly 40,000 individuals and families each year. They are located throughout 12 states across the country. The combined organization will have an annual revenue topping $1 Billion and will serve more than 50,000 consumers with over 11,000 employees and operating in 12 states.

Mr. Maynard will address the key strategic and tactical issues that are involved in making a mega-merger happen – and making it work. He will also share his view of what the future complex consumer market will look like.
