Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on our members and the older adults they serve, the LeadingAge Texas Board of Directors, in full support of myself and my staff, has made the decision to reschedule our 2020 Annual Conference & Solutions EXPO (originally slated for May 17-20, 2020). 

My staff and I look forward to our association coming together in the fall for an alternative educational and networking conference experience; please stay tuned for details as they become available.

To everyone who has been involved in the planning of our conference—our partners and sponsors, exhibitors, and speakers—the Board of Directors, my staff, and I sincerely thank you for your contributions and we look forward to working with you to ensure our fall conference is a success!

What’s Next?

Conference attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors will be contacted within the coming days with further information. Updates will be published at www.leadingagetexas.org/conference as they become available. 

We are excited to offer a live virtual session on May 21 featuring our conference closing session speaker Karith Foster who will present on “Pivoting to Our Purpose,” a timely topic for how the field of aging services is in the midst of transition. This program is complimentary for all association members.
