The deadline to submit proposals has been
extended to Nov. 8!
We are seeking rich, engaging educational sessions that are applicable across the continuum of aging services. This year's focus is on topics that are timely and applicable to members' day-to-day operations, focused rather than general in nature and that engage our attendees in an interactive way. We will give special consideration to sessions that solve a specific problem that members face, truly giving them concrete solutions to take away.
