An Invitation to Join

|
Moving on into the next Millennium ...
|
|
The best is yet to come!
|
Like soaring or surfing, moving on into the millennium is both thrilling and fearsome. The future is fraught with unknowns and uncertainties. Nevertheless, we are heady with excitement and expectation for what is to come and for what may be. A future that is to be the best yet, is the challenging prospect that confronts our aging population.
To make the best of whatever the future holds requires reliable information and knowledge. That is why HPGS was organized in 1979. The Society enables people of all backgrounds who are concerned with the welfare of older adults in Hawaii and the Pacific region, to gather on common ground to promote common good.
The Society is the largest voluntary multidisciplinary group committed to dialogue and discussion, networking and information sharing on issues and policies affecting older akults in this geographic area.
Today, more than 400 older adults, caregivers, gerontological educators, medical and social service practitioners, health care providers, agency personnel and organizations from all sectors of the community make up the membership.
Society members benefit from opportunities to:
- Network with experts and leaders;
- Educate the general public about aging;
- Influence awareness of major issues affecting older adults in Hawaii and the Pacific; and
- Participate in the broad range of HPGS activities, committees and offices.
So, whether professional or non-professional, actively retired or still employed, young or not so young, if you are engaged by the idea that the best is still to come for our older adults, accept this invitation to join the Hawaii Pacific Gerontological Society now.
