Anna Hall | The Purpose Ripple
Tuesday, June 3rd - 11:45 AM – 1:30 PM
What drives us to wake up every morning with a sense of energy and
direction? What keeps older adults engaged, caregivers inspired,
and communities thriving? The answer lies in purpose—the
powerful force that fuels connection, resilience, and fulfillment
at every stage of life.
Join us for an inspiring keynote with Anna Hall, creator of
The Purpose Equation®, as she explores the profound ripple effect
that purpose has on individuals, communities, and organizations.
Through her evidence-based framework, Anna will illustrate how
discovering and activating purpose can transform the aging
experience—empowering older adults to lead more meaningful lives
while reigniting passion and engagement among caregivers and staff.
Following the keynote, Melissa Andrews, CEO of LeadingAge Virginia,
will explore with Anna practical ways aging services providers can
integrate purpose-driven engagement into their communities,
workforce, and culture.
John & Jacob | Cycling Without Age
Wednesday, June 4th - 8:45 AM – 10:45 AM
As aging services providers, we work every day to create
environments where older adults can thrive. But what if something
as simple as a bike ride could transform how we think about aging,
engagement, and community?
Cycling Without Age is more than a documentary—it’s a movement that
is redefining possibilities for older adults around the world.
Join us for an unforgettable keynote with Jacob Boettner, the
film’s producer, and his father, John Boettner, the heart of the
story and an advocate for intergenerational engagement. They will
share the powerful impact of a simple yet profound idea: that giving
older adults access to movement and shared experiences can create
ripples of impact across entire communities.
Following the keynote, father and son will sit down with Melissa
Andrews, CEO of LeadingAge Virginia, for a thought-provoking
conversation to explore how this movement aligns with our dedication
to identify innovative ways to integrate social connection,
mobility, and adventure into the lives of those we serve.
