During his presentation, you will also learn why he changed our communication platform to be called WESeniors, and why he thinks we should not shy away from being called a senior, but rather celebrate it! As a Gerontologist, Haidong brings a fresh, inspiring insight into what it means to age well! Whether you are age 55, 65 or 75, come learn how to be Older, Bolder, and Better!
