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.
