Thursday, April 8, 5.30-7.30pm
The United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania
(17th and the Parkway)
Did you know that Philadelphia has the highest proportion of people over 60 out of the ten largest cities in the United States? Given that number, isn’t it surprising that more organizations and businesses are not addressing the needs of our aging population?
From community development, to the arts, law, social work, and more, each profession has the opportunity to touch the lives of older people and help our city become a lifelong community.
Join GenPhilly on Thursday, April 8 to learn from our members about organizations that incorporate seniors into their programs, policy, and planning. Be a part of a discussion on how you can include the needs of the older population into your current position, and if you already do, meet a group that can provide a support network for you.
Keynote Speaker: Holly Lange, Senior Vice President, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging
