The theme for the conference was Framing the Future for a better tomorrow. We enjoyed leading a plenary session on Reframing Aging Strategies for Leaders and Advocates, as well as connecting with many of our coalition partners who are leading critical work to ensure that we all have the support that we need to thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to Director Mary Killlough, Chief of Staff Liz Vogt and all of the leadership and staff of the Illinois Department on Aging for the opportunity to participate in this year’s conference.

We are grateful to share our passion for reframing aging with more than 400 participants during the plenary session and to join others working to build a more inclusive, age-positive future for all.
