Overview of Presentation
Navigating the 3 M’s of Aging: Meaning, Mourning, and Memory Loss.
The world likes to think of seniors as happy and carefree retirees. But in reality, aging is very stressful. Every aspect of an individual’s life is undergoing change. Activities that used to be easy are now a challenge. People they loved and relied on are no longer there. Many of the things that gave their life joy and meaning have been lost.
In this presentation we’ll look at the emotional impact of aging. We’ll examine some of the challenges our clients face as they navigate an ever-changing landscape of cognitive abilities, physical limitations, and a cascade of losses. We’ll discuss strategies for helping seniors successfully adjust to these difficult transitions.
January’s Spotlight was our first mixer of the year, Thank You for sharing your time with our Group!
The Marin Section on Aging Leadership Team is looking at expanding our organization and establishing a non-profit status.
At this time we will be speaking with Marin Link and considering a stand-alone non-profit status as well.
With a change like this, we anticipate seeking out candidates for a formal board of directors and sub-committees. Upon our preliminary evaluation, we see the need for each board member to head up a team of at least two others to over see some areas such as the:
- Website and it’s maintenance
- Budget and membership fees
- Educational speakers bureau
- Refreshment sponsors
- Technical equipment needs, and oversight at meetings
- General marketing and promotion for members in addition to regularly sponsored content
We are looking forward to this new model and welcome any and all suggestions you may have. If you are interested in a leadership role, please don’t hesitate to email info@marinsectiononaging.com.
