SAGE of the Rockies conference on aging begins today

The first regional SAGE of the Rockies conference on LGBT aging, "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Choosing to Live Well," is designed to give people the tools they need to plan and be prepared so as they grow older, their lives are healthy and safe.

The conference starts Friday at 1 p.m. and runs through Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, 1550 Court Place.

The conference -- produced by The Center's SAGE of the Rockies program -- will feature nearly 30 breakout sessions on topics ranging from financial and estate planning to staying connected through social media. By the end of the conference, participants will have an "action blueprint" to help them move toward the kind of LGBT community that will help them thrive and grow older with confidence.
