CALA’s Voice of Assisted Living presentations tools were created to help you educate community groups about senior living and discuss key aging issues with local business, political, and opinion leaders. Access to these resources is a benefit of membership.
How to Give a Voice of Assisted Living Presentation
- Think about your contacts in the local community. Are you a member of your area’s Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Elks Lodge, or similar group? Do you participate in your local Alzheimer’s Association chapter? Or, maybe you are active in an alumni association, nonprofit organization, or networking group.
- Volunteer as a speaker or presenter with these groups. Let them know that, as the state’s population ages, you can be an expert source on key aging issues.
- Choose what to speak about from the topics below. Each topic contains a speech and PowerPoint presentation. Remember to keep your topic relevant to both the group you are addressing and your Assisted Living community.
- After completing your presentation, fill out this brief survey.
