On Thursday, December 12^th Senior Services Plus presented at the Annual Illinois Governors Conference on Aging & Disability on  “Redefining the Local Senior Center”. 

Senior Services Plus presented on developing a model for serving seniors and “Baby Boomers”.   Senior Services Plus developed their model after: assessing needs and researching trends within the communities they serve; then developing community partnerships to deliver these services to seniors throughout the St. Louis area.

Their presentation also talked about: diversify revenue streams for non-profits, and a “how to” build a successful senior Health & Wellness program.

“Being able to network with other service providers and share information about what’s working is always a great opportunity for agencies like our self, but being recognized as a leader in aging and being able to present ideas to others in our industry is an honor.” said John Becker Executive Director of Senior Services Plus.
