California Parks and Recreation Society Aging Services and Activities Section
Hello Aging Section Members, As we enter summer many of our sites have reopened and we find ourselves busier than ever. I want to thank all of you for the amazing work you have done throughout the last two years during Covid-19 to continue to provide services for older adults in your area and to keep them engaged with new and unique programs and activities. Your Aging Section Board held its annual retreat May 12 and we agreed that we all want to make a concerted effort to connect with you throughout this year by offering relevant trainings and by bringing back the Engaging conversations on a quarterly basis. Our theme this year will be Aged to Perfection! As a board we hope to provide you with support and resources to help you achieve your career goals within aging services. For many of us over the last few years we have been challenged to develop new ways to provide services to an aging population, while maintaining the health and safety of our staff, and now find ourselves doing the same as we reopen. I ask that everyone continues to take time to connect with other agencies and Aging Section members to discuss how we are all handling these new and challenging times. As your Aging Section President, I would like to challenge you to help us become better together. You can sign up to facilitate an EngAGING Conversation, sign up to be on a committee, or get involved at your local level and together we can see how much more we can offer to our Aging Services Section. Sincerely,
Steve Cox, Aging Section President scox@sanramon.ca.gov 925-973-3207
