GSA PRECONFERENCE FEATURING NETWORK MEMBERS

Again, I am happy to report that our proposal for a pre-conference for the annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America was accepted!  Our day-long conference, Research that Matters to Employers: Overcoming Constraints to Later Life Employment, will be held on November 14, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. As you know, GSA will be in Boston this year, so please make your plans now to arrive by November 13; hotels will fill up so please make your reservations as soon as you can.
 
Also, registration for the pre-conference is not included in registration for GSA, so please register for our session (and GSA) as soon as you can.  It will be important to publicize the session among your colleagues and friends and encourage them to attend.  We need to have a good audience.  
 
One extra surprise is that Kerry Hannon, has agreed to be our keynote speaker. As many of you know, Kerry is a nationally recognized expert and strategist on career transitions, personal finance and retirement.  I am sure having her join us will add to an already very exciting program

INVITATION TO BUFFET DINNER AT HISTORIC HOME OF JACKIE JAMES, NOVEMBER 15 AT 6:30 PM
 
Up to 50 Network members are invited to travel the approximately 7 miles from the conference center at GSA to the home (built in 1693) of Jackie and Sam James, 388 Pleasant St., Belmont, MA (618 484 8967). RSVP is required for attendance; please let Jackie know by November 1, 2018 at jamesjc@bc.edu as space is limited.
 
 
In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful summer. Please be in touch with your Network activities and announcements. We are stronger when we work together.
 
With best regards,
Jackie
