The Hawaii Pacific Gerontological Society (HPGS), is thrilled to announce its 2023 biennial conference from September 7–8 following the success of its virtual conference in 2021.
Designed for a diverse audience that includes kūpuna practitioners in the health and human service fields, businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations serving kūpuna, HPGS extends a warm invitation to its two-day event at the Ala Moana Hotel. Applied researchers, students in gerontology, advocates for kūpuna, and kūpuna themselves who are keen on continuing their education as they age are also encouraged to join in this exciting event.
The conference’s theme, “Sustainable Transitions in Gerontology,” spotlights the crucial adjustments made by businesses, organizations, individuals and kūpuna over the past few years in response to the ever-changing needs of our elderly population.
An impressive lineup of keynote speakers is set to inspire attendees, featuring Dr. Lee Buenconsejo-Lum, Interim Dean of the John A. Burns School of Medicine, and Keith Hayashi, Department of Education Superintendent. HPGS is working to create a dynamic and informative event with additional speakers from Hawaii, the Mainland and Japan.
Seven “Na Lima Kokua Awards” will be presented to individuals or companies/organizations from categories of business, communications, community service, government, and research/ education, along with two Tony Lenzer Scholarships to be awarded on Thursday, Sept. 7.
