Annlouise Ferguson, SAGA Board Member
The 2015 conference is part of an annual series by the local nonprofit. SAGA was organized to provide resources, education and advocacy for seniors, caregivers, and the adult children of the senior population of Ahwatukee and its surrounding areas.
The City of Phoenix and the Pecos Community Center will also be hosting a classroom at the event for senior attendees that will facilitate interactive discussions on topics related to aging.
According to SAGA Board Member, Annlouise Ferguson, “There has been a 45% increase in the number of seniors living in the Ahwatukee area since 2000. Many adult sons and daughters are now caring for their parents, their own families, and even their grandchildren. This event will give attendees real answers on available resources and new ways to care for the senior in their life and even themselves. There is help.”
