Dear Friend,

TheNew York State Caregiving & Respite Coalition (NYSCRC), in partnership with Albany Guardian Society, invites you to attendthe New York State Caregiving and Respite Conference. The conference will be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at the Albany Desmond Hotel and Conference Center, 660 Albany Shaker Road, Albany, New York, 12211, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The theme for this year’s NYSCRC Conference is “A Common Thread: Caregiver Experiences Across the Aging & Disability Spectrum.” While each caregiver has his or her own unique situation, there are many similar challenges encountered at some point during their caregiving journey. This conference will bring together multiple perspectives on these challenges, and offer valuable information and solutions for those caregivers.

Please join us to hear from several of the country’s most influential voices on topics important to family caregivers. Peter Rosenberger, Carol Levine, and Sheila Warnock will share their personal accounts of caring for their loved ones, while offering strategies and resources to help caregivers thrive while coping with the daily responsibilities of providing care for an aging or disabled family member or friend. The event also features a panel discussion addressing an important model of respite care currently being successfully implemented throughout New York State.

We hope you will be able to attend this exciting event. The cost for this year’s NYSCRC Conference is $20.00, which includes lunch. Registration is required by Friday November6, 2015. You may register in one of four ways:
