The seventh annual LGBT Older Adult Summit will be held from 8 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. on June 24 at MSU Detroit Campus located at 3408 Woodward Ave. in Detroit. The event, organized by SAGE Metro Detroit, offers LGBT older adults a chance to build stronger social connections and learn about resources to strengthen their financial, social and activist lives. Plan to attend an array of workshops and enjoy a morning filled with informational talks such as Life Writing, a presentation by AARP, a special Lifetime Achievement Award presentation and a keynote address from Sue Ann Sweeney, Faculty and Chair of Aging Studies Department at Madonna University. Her talk, titled "Getting from Here to There," focuses later in life transitions, why they are challenging and what you can do to navigate them more resiliently. The LGBT Older Adult Summit is free and open to the public. Please complete the registration form online at http://www.sagemetrodetroit.org so organizers can appropriately plan for refreshments.
