HOW DO YOU USE MY CONTACT INFORMATION?
Unlike many providers of community education programs for seniors, we keep your contact information and attendance confidential. The only people who have access to this information are the hosts and organizers and it is used only for purposes of keeping you in the loop regarding educational programming. Specifically this means reminder calls, texts, emails, or letters concerning events for which you register. Also, follow up calls, texts, emails, or letters and invitations to new or updated programs. We do our best to only contact you in ways you request or prefer. We NEVER make your contact information available to third parties unless you expressly authorize us to do so.
CAN I ATTEND FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES?
We always welcome service providers and business owners seeking to learn. Due to limited seating, we reserve the right to provide priority seating to non-professionals. As this event is for seniors and caregivers, if you are not a senior or coming to learn how to care for a senior in your life, you will be charged a $25 fee payable at the door. We have a STRICT no solicitation / marketing policy Any attempt to network with education partners or panelists for personal gain is strictly prohibited. All attendees must check in and provide contact information.
CAN ATTENDEES ASK QUESTIONS?
Absolutely! We want you to get your questions answered. We do our homework, so many of your questions will likely be answered in the prepared program. If you still have unanswered questions, you will have an opportunity to ask panelists or note them on your feedback sheet. Questions that are personal to your specific situation (i.e. can’t be generalized to the group) might be redirected to a panelist or education partner after the program. Our goal is to always help you find your answers or an appropriate resource!
SHOULD I EXPECT A SALES PITCH?
Absolutely not. No sales pitch ever! No hidden agenda. You are welcome to introduce yourself to presenters, panelists, hosts, and education partners to decide for yourself if you want or need more information. The subject matter experts (panelists) and education partners are encouraged to bring new and different materials each month for you you to take home, but it’s up to you to pick them up.
