Stella Maris Inc is immensely proud of the success of this year’s MGA- Maryland Gerontological Association annual conference, Enthusiasm for Empowerment.
The day began with an inspiring keynote experience featuring Stories Love Music, Loretta Veney, and LEGO® Serious Play®, setting the tone with meaningful insights, authentic conversation, and powerful moments of connection and motivation.
Throughout the conference, attendees engaged in a dynamic lineup of sessions created to inform, inspire, and empower professionals across the aging services community. The energy throughout the day was extraordinary, with heartfelt sharing, thoughtful collaboration, and meaningful new connections formed along the way.
It was truly inspiring for Stella Maris Inc representatives Tracy Barnett (who also serves as VP of Business Development for Maryland Gerontological Association), Desiree Gibson, and Lindsay Robey, MS, CDP to engage with so many dedicated professionals, advocates, and leaders united by a shared commitment to improving the lives of older adults and caregivers.
Stella Maris extends sincere thanks to everyone who participated, presented, sponsored, and supported this unforgettable experience.
A special thank you, as always, to Maryland Secretary of Aging Carmel Roques for joining us and contributing to such a meaningful day.
