Sponsorship Information
The Minnesota Gerontological Society (MGS) 2007 Spring
Conference is a powerful way to reach Minnesota's leaders, both
from practice and academia, who serve and are interested in older
adults. Your sponsorship puts your logo in front of MGS members
from throughout the state who expect to learn about cutting edge
topics in gerontology, network with colleagues, and collect new
tools for further development of research and practice. MGS is
proud to invite your organization to co-sponsor the 2007 Spring
Conference on Friday, April 27, 2007.
This year’s one-day conference features: Older Adults' Mobility
at Home and in the Community: Strategies for Safety, Independence
and Participation. The members of the multidisciplinary conference
committee have invited outstanding presenters for each of 6
program tracks: Older Driver Issues, Transportation Options for
Diverse Needs, Fall Prevention and Maintenance of Physical
Mobility, Physical Activity Links to Cognitive and Physical
Health, Livable Communities, and finally, Home Design for Physical
and Cognitive Issues in Later years.
Our conference Keynote speaker will be Nina Silverstein, Ph.D,
Director of the Gerontology Program at the University of
Massachusetts, and known nationally for her expertise in older
driver issues. She also has written and presented extensively
about other aspects of personal mobility, with a particular focus
on seniors suffering from dementia and their caregivers. Our
end-note speaker will be Jane Hardin, JD, from the Community
Transportation Association of America (CTAA), a dynamic presenter,
who will share with us the creative solutions that have been
developed nationwide to address the transportation needs of
seniors, both in rural and urban areas, to make our communities
more senior-friendly.
