Gov. Terry McAuliffe has called for the first Virginia Governor’s Conference on Aging since 2003. The day and a half conference will be held May 2-3, 2016 at the Richmond Hotel and Spa, Short Pump.

The conference theme is “Designing Our Future.” The three main topics to be addressed at the conference are: culture change in long term services and supports; safety and financial security; and livable communities. The conference is designed for professionals in the aging service network, including health care professionals, government, business, academia, non-profit sector, consumer advocates, program volunteers and others. The first day will be a full conference program of interactive plenary sessions, breakout sessions, networking opportunities, an exhibit hall and an evening reception. The second day is an optional, half-day, moderated session that will result in a number of state policy recommendations.

There are still opportunities to be a conference sponsor or exhibitor. The rate to be an exhibitor was recently reduced to only $250; space is limited. VHCA-VCAL is a Silver Sponsor for the event.
