This is the sixth annual convening which increases both knowledge about & resources for LGBT older adults and caregivers.” Paul Lanzikos, Executive Director of Danvers-based North Shore Elder Services added, “The Elder LGBT Conference is a unique event bringing together human service workers, as well as LGBT elders themselves, with academic experts who have researched the issues of LGBT older adults & caregivers. Our participation is a direct result of our work over the past years with The LGBT Aging Project in Boston involving outreach and programming for LGBT seniors & caregivers on the North Shore & throughout the metropolitan Boston area."
