LPN’s quarterly meetings are always special events. Keynote speakers represent the cutting-edge of Third Age Life Planning, as well as research, writing and program planning for the Third Age. They include nationally recognized contributors and local experts, many of them LPN members. Meetings also provide an opportunity for organizational planning and business and time for members and guests to network and consult with one another about their work with Third Age clients. The Program Committee regularly seeks input from the membership on programming needs. As a result of this collaborative planning, our members look forward to LPN’s programs.
