Committees
YOUR TIME AND MONEY ARE VALUABLE! There’s no better way to put your membership to work than by selecting and taking part in one of our active committees. You’ll meet and develop relationships with other professionals, learn new skills or enhance the skills you already have, and you’ll have fun while doing it. The Network has five working committees (and ad hoc committees as needed.) Please contact our committee chairs directly if you’d like to join a committee, or if you want more information.

“When I started my job at Glenwell, it was my first job in the industry. Glenwell was a member of the Network In Aging. My first event I went to was the progressive dinner at the Barrel Factory. I am so grateful that I mustered up the courage to attend the event, knowing I wasn’t going to know anyone. I connected with many people throughout the adult care industry. It is such a wonderful Network to really grasp all the different services offered for the elderly. I have created some great contacts and amazing friendships by being involved with the Network In Aging”
“Network in Aging has proven to be an invaluable asset to both me and my business. The synergy of this networking group has expanded my professional connections and provided a source of support, knowledge, collaborative opportunities and relationships with like-minded professionals. Being part of the Network in Aging is not just about networking; it’s about cultivating lasting relationships and working together to serve our aging community”.
