My first virtual event as "stage manager" and a joyful seminar!

The Alzheimer's Association's annual Caring for Our Own seminars highlight dementia care in LGBTQ+ contexts for care partners and professionals alike. 2023 was the first year it was recorded, and features national speakers addressing academic, advocacy, service, and nonprofit perspectives.

I am active throughout the 3+ hour event, but the final segment is the only one I formally host: "Showing Up for Other Generations" (a.k.a. Conversations We Wish We Could Have with Our Grandparents).
