Boots on the Ground ROUNDTABLE
LiveOn NY's Boots on the Ground Roundtable (BOTGR) is a virtual, solution-driven space for direct aging service professionals and others serving older adults throughout NY State. Through our BOTGR, professionals gain access to trainings on timely and relevant topics and exchange innovative ideas and resources in an effort to stay connected and work collaboratively in service of older New Yorkers.
Each month, attendees receive practical tools and guidance on a relevant topic to help strengthen their day-to-day work with older adults. 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.”
