Navigating As We Age: Changes and Choices
The Committee’s sponsers this 12-week, 30-hour course designed to: inform and support resident transistions and decisions about how we want to spend the rest of our lives; select spokesman for our wishes; and communicate those wishes to those spokesmen. The next course will begin on March 1. See Events and Courses link for further information.
This course has generated a new course on financial security and a series of mini-courses and single programs based on core elements of that course. See below for upcoming programs.
Congratulations to the Fall 2022 class!
