The Age Positive Conference sponsored by Mid-America Regional Council in Kansas City was a huge success! There were so many great presentations, fantastic speakers and wonderful connections made during opportunities to network with other professionals in the field of aging. Our Executive Director, Tina Uridge, helped close out the day along with a panel who presented on the importance of Mentoring and being a Mentee with another aging professional so that together, we can continue the important work that we do.
