PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:

As we move toward the end of another successful year, I’m thrilled to invite you to our Annual Meeting 2025, taking place on Thursday, November 6. This year’s theme, “The Future is Gray – AI and What’s Next for Us All,” explores how artificial intelligence is shaping the future — and what it means for aging, innovation, and our shared tomorrow.

We’re honored to feature two outstanding speakers: Anthony DeSimone, who will serve as our keynote, and James Conley from The Olear Team. Together, they’ll provide thought-provoking insight into how AI impacts both entrepreneurs and the general public.

The program will include:

• An overview of AI and its real-world influence
• A demonstration of deep fakes and how they affect perception and trust
Practical applications of AI in aging and caregiving
• A Q&A session to engage and inspire conversation

A heartfelt thank you to our 20 generous sponsors who have already stepped up to support this important event. We’re also deeply grateful to our members who supported us through advertising this year. Your partnership and commitment help sustain our programs, events and outreach efforts that strengthen our entire network.

If you haven’t done so yet, I encourage you to purchase your tickets today — you won’t want to miss this engaging and forward-thinking evening!

There’s still time to join our sponsors — additional sponsorship opportunities are available until October 17. It’s a great way to show your support and gain visibility among community and industry leaders.

And while we’re focused on November, we’re already looking ahead to next spring! Mark your calendars for our Annual Senior Resource Fair, scheduled for April 29, 2026. It’s shaping up to be another fantastic event connecting seniors, families, and service providers. Also, save the date for another Network with the Network event on December 11, hosted by Catholic Health LIFE and co-hosted by West Side Community Services, with the festive theme “Holidays Around the World.”

We look forward to seeing you soon!

With Warm Wishes,

April Romanowski
Network in Aging President
