About the Art & Science of Aging ConferenceThe Grand Valley State University Art & Science of Aging Conference is held annually on a Friday in February.The purpose of this conference is to broaden the dialogue on issues of aging within West Michigan and toprovide an educational forum for individuals who are 'aging' and the professionals who work with (and for)them. To achieve this goal, the Conference planners identify a theme for the conference - a current timely topicin the field of aging. We also invite a national expert speaker to present the latest research and best practices inthis area, and also to translate these into personal and professional practices which can be used to enhancethe lives of older adults.Knowledgeable and skilled faculty and practitioners present workshops that draw on research and evidencebased practices related to the theme of the year. They focus on issues that are relevant to healthprofessionals, such as social workers, nurses, therapists, administrators, and other professionals whointeract with older adults in their practice. Our goal is for all the information offered to benefit those personsfacing the multifaceted challenges and opportunities of aging, as well as their family and friends. Thesessions of the Art & Science of Aging Conference promote inter-professional and inter-agency collaboration.Student researchers - both undergraduate and graduate - also present their own research on aging topics;community providers of services to older adults offer educational and other helpful resources toparticipants; and the participants enjoy a luncheon and other opportunities for networking.Our conference theme for 2017 is: Creating an Age Friendly Community. This is part of an internationalinitiative, under the World Health Organization (WHO), to promote age-friendly communities world-wide. Inthe United States that initiative is led by AARP. In the WHO initiative eight domains are identified for attentionand change in order for any community to achieve 'age-friendly' status: 1) Social participation; 2) Respect andsocial inclusion; 3) Civic participation/Employment; 4) Communication and Information/Education; 5)Community support & health services; 6) Outdoor spaces and buildings; 7) Transportation/ mobility, 8)Housing. Many of the sessions this year fall into one of these 8 domains. Locally the City of Grand Rapids andAARP are partnering to achieve the age-friendly designation here. Our closing session will include acommunity conversation on that topic. It is our intention that conference participants will explore and adoptprograms and behaviors that ensure an inclusive age-friendly community for all.ofThroughout the day participants will have available a series of 18 one-hour workshops, book-ended by theOpening and Closing sessions. Because no one can attend all the workshops, ourpresenters share their presentations electronically and we post them toArt and Sciencwww.gvsu.edu/gerontology. Nurses, social workers, occupational therapists,erecreational therapists and nursing home administrators can obtain continuingprofessional education credits for their participation.AgingConferenceAGING IS AN EXTRAORDINARY PROCESS WHERE YOU BECOME THE PERSON YOU ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN. –DAVID BOWIE1
