Keynote Presentations Retirement as Anachronism: Does the Term “Retired” Really Apply to Anyone Anymore? Helen Dicks, Associate State Director State Advocacy, AARP Wisconsin
The definition of retirement, to withdraw from one’s position or occupation or from active working life, continues to devolve from an expectation for many to a relic of past generations. The infamous “gold watch” date no longer applies as longevity, improving health status, finances, family dynamics and other variables have older adults reimagining the possibilities. Discover how changing generational perspectives will impact our personal lives, our families, the workplace, and society at-large. HELEN DICKS | Helen currently serves as the State Issues Advocacy Director for AARP Wisconsin. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1985. Since that time she has been involved in elder law and advocacy on both the legal and legislative level. For 5 years, she served as Director of the Elder Law Center of the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging groups prior to working for Wisconsin State Senator Judy Robson from 2007-2011.
The Coin’s Other Side: A Positive Care Mindset Mary Sharp, Partner, The Edcon Group
The old saying that “there are two sides to every coin” is an appropriate metaphor when caring for people with dementia. Often we focus our energy on only one face of the coin...the tough moments. There is, however, a brighter and more uplifting side. Seeing it and knowing how to create it can be transformative. Mary Sharp will spotlight the profound impact of positive mindsets and how to effectively engage and communicate with those who have dementia. MARY SHARP | Mary is a veteran educator. Her focus has always been on learner-
controlled environments, allowing others to “learn by doing.” Active Living is the phrase she has chosen to describe her current objective in dementia care. Whether caregivers have an afternoon (almost never) or only a few minutes, there are many ways to create joy and interactive opportunities for those who have lost the ability to respond in usual ways. Mary has shown thousands how to make it happen.

Growing Evidence Linking Food to Chronic Health Conditions Judy Mayer, DTR, Consumer Nutrition Educator, Outpost Natural Foods Cooperative
We are what we eat and our food choices have a huge impact on our health. Nutrition is a major force that can change the outcome of chronic disease.

JUDY MAYER | Judy is a graduate of the Milwaukee Area Technical College Dietetic
Technician program and holds the position of Consumer Nutrition Educator for Outpost Natural Foods Cooperative in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has been employed by Outpost for the last 18 years.
