The group's 10th annual conference, entitled “Meeting at the Crossroads,” will feature numerous discussions on personalizing eldercare models and empowering long-term care workers.

Plenary session speakers will include Kathy Greenlee, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Aging (Monday evening) and Pioneer Executive Director Bonnie Kantor and Board President Megan Hannan (Tuesday evening).
