The speaker for the first in the 2018 Dementia Awareness Education series will be Valerie Jurik-Henry, the creator The Ageless Home and a professional national speaker on aging in place. She will present The Aging Population + Your Business = A New Way of Thinking during the event on Thursday, April 26, beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre.
Jurik-Henry will address these questions: What makes your business inviting to every customer? What makes your business age friendly? How can being age friendly make a huge impact to your bottom line.
The breakfast sponsor is Brookdale Senior Living, so arrive a little early to enjoy something to eat and a cup of coffee.
