Dear CSCS Members, Colleagues and Friends,

CSCS is pleased to announce its 21st Annual Conference on Aging 2010 – The Power of Aging: Standing Strong and Creating Change. Please Hold the Date for Thursday, January 21, 2010 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

We are moving the conference to the CUNY Graduate Center, on Fifth Avenue at 34th Street, across from the Empire State Building. I know you will share our excitement about this move and the opportunity it affords us for our stellar day of quality plenary sessions, educational opportunities, networking and professional development. You can rest assured you will continue to have a rich array of workshops from which to choose as well as exhibitors that know the needs of senior service providers.

CSCS is thrilled that the 2010 Keynote Speaker will be the new U.S. Assistant Secretary for Aging Kathy J. Greenlee. It is an honor for CSCS and the aging network that this Conference will be Assistant Secretary Greenlee’s first major engagement in New York City.

I am also pleased that the Conference Co-Chairs are Jose Ortiz Ortiz, Executive Director of the Spanish-Speaking Elderly Council/RAICES, and Julia Schwartz-Leeper, Executive Director of Riverdale Senior Services. They are the latest in a long line of dynamic co-chairs bringing creative ideas as well as enthusiasm to their task.

Please watch for your registration materials as we get closer to the date. You can also continue to check our website www.cscs-ny.org for the latest news as it becomes available. Should you have any questions, please contact Allison Slutter, Conference Coordinator, at 212.398.6565 x235 or at aslutter@cscs-ny.org.

I look forward to seeing you at the CUNY Center on January 21st for a day that will expand your professional horizons.

Sincerely,

Igal Jellinek
Executive Director
