This year, the theme "Building on Our Strengths" invites us to recognize and celebrate what individuals and organizations do for the well-being of older adults: their resilience, their ability to adapt, their power to make their own choices, and the wealth of knowledge and life experience they pass on.
Building on our strengths. Let’s not stand alone. Let’s come together.
