LifeWays, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating Ways to<br />
Age WellTM, the Cafe pulls customers into the experience<br />
through the restaurant, which is open to all ages. Adults 50 and<br />
better discover endless possibilities in fitness classes, lectures,<br />
technology classes and social connections. Enjoy exploring the<br />

1:30 PM | Crystal B (West Tower, Green Level)<br />
Fee: $15 (includes coffee and issue of Generations on LGBT<br />
Aging). Pre-registration is required.<br />
As the overall population of older adults expands, the cohort of<br />
LGBT older adults is also expanding. This cohort represents a<br />
diverse group of individuals who have historically been relegated<br />
to the margins of society. With seminal research studies<br />
focusing on LGBT aging and health, as well as the long-awaited<br />
passage of civil rights legislation for LGBT individuals, progress<br />
has been made but more needs to be done in the realm of<br />
services, policy and research. Join our panel of experts as they<br />
lay out the LGBT aging landscape and what professionals across<br />
the field of aging need to know to build knowledge, skills, and<br />
cultural competency to meet the complex needs of LGBT older<br />
adults. Interwoven within the discussion will be the recognition<br />
of the spirit, drive and resiliency that has propelled this diverse<br />
community forward.<br />
