Boots on the Ground ROUNDTABLE
LiveOn NY’s Boots on the Ground Roundtable (BOTGR) is a virtual supportive solution-driven space for direct aging service professionals and others serving older adults throughout the State. Through our Boots on the Ground Roundtable professionals will obtain and share Innovative ideas, resources, information, and network with other professionals in an effort to stay connected and work collaboratively to continue serving older New Yorkers.
During these meetings, attendees have the opportunity to practice self care, hear a brief presentation on a timely and relevant topic, and connect. If you are interested in learning more about the work group and/or joining, please contact Kim Lerner at klerner@liveon-ny.org.
“Boots on the Ground makes us feel connected to other centers and resources and helps us to feel that we are part of a bigger network. It is also a forum for questions, especially questions that we never thought of but are eager to hear the answers to.”
