Participants will engage in meaningful discussions, share resources, and collaborate on best practices to address the unique challenges diverse leaders experience while engaging in this work. By fostering a sense of belonging, each of the three affinity groups aims to empower practitioners to enhance their networks while advocating for inclusive services. Together, we strive to create a more equitable and compassionate environment for LGBTQ+ older adults across diverse settings.
