Change of speaker
Friday May 30, 2025
Unfortunately, our planned speaker Dr. Carol Orsborn is unable to attend due to unexpected health reasons. We invite your best wishes for her full recovery.
In her place, Carol's friend and colleague Sandy Reynolds agreed to step up and lead the seminar day as scheduled. The theme: “Embracing Aging as Culmination” remains the same, with some changes to the day's timeline.
We expect the day to still be of great interest to those who work with older adults, and to all of us who are growing older.
