OLLI Program Task Force

A feature of OLLI’s Membership Forward initiative

The OLLI Program Task Force is a feature of OLLI’s Membership Forward initiative. The Task Force will identify and develop expanded and enriched OLLI program options available September 2023 for a growing and more diverse membership. The Task Force will seek ideas from OLLI members and scan lifelong learning programs at other OLLI’s and senior learning programs that are in person, hybrid and online. The Task Force will investigate innovative learning and social engagement formats.

Any member is welcome to this Task Force. We’ll meet in person at Turner. All members will actively contribute. They will keep an open mind, recognize a good idea is made better by discussion of all points of view and maintain a willingness to compromise with the goal of the effort in mind. The work of the Task Force is expected to begin in July 2022 and will be done in groups, individually and in collaboration with current program committees. It will always be driven by the stated needs of all the OLLI members.

Interested?

Let Lynn Boyer know at [email protected] no later than June 13. Include one or two lines related to your interest and what skills, background, expertise you bring.
