To move FORWARD does not mean to push past where we have been. On the contrary, to truly move our organizations forward, we must leverage where we have been to become stronger and smarter. Our future may look different than today. Our teams will need to evolve to meet the challenges ahead. Our organizations will succeed by bridging where we have been with new skills and knowledge. We understand FORWARD means a better tomorrow is not promised - it has to be created.

Join us on May 26-27 for a virtual experience and together we will move our organizations and the field of aging services FORWARD. This is year’s EXPO will feature a robust education program; including 30 concurrent sessions, 2 outstanding keynote speakers and a tradeshow comprised of companies that are experts in their fields.

> LEADING FORWARD Award   
There are points in history when one can look back and identify individuals that were willing to step up and put other people's needs before their own. The coronavirus has created such a moment in our lives. LeadingAge members met the unknown challenges of the coronavirus head on to protect and comfort the older adults in your care.

It is impossible to adequately thank each of you for your hard work, determination, and sacrifices. Therefore, in place of our annual Aging Services Award of Excellence, we have created a special LEADING FORWARD Award to honor everyone and celebrate what is yet to come. Please join us by sending in photos of your team celebrating LEADING FORWARD in the pandemic recovery process. Whether it is the return to group dining, resuming activities in your community, vaccination clinics or even just the ability for visitors to hug their loved ones – we want to share these moments with everyone. Instructions on how to share photos will be provided when you register for the LeadingAge Connecticut EXPO. Show us what LEADING FORWARD looks like to your staff and communities!
