I am looking forward to and planning for the Beyond Rubies Women’s Conference coming up on March 15th and 16th, 2012 in the Cedar Hall at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids.

Beyond Rubies is a conference for women of all generations and backgrounds to learn practical ideas on how to succeed.  This year’s conference will feature four general session keynote speakers and your choice of more than 100 workshops and seminars providing helpful information on issues affecting all women in the workplace, at home and in the community.

I will be offering a workshop on “Planning Ahead for Life Transitions” which will include learning about the SRES designation and understanding the unique needs of people ages 60 and over, what level of care is needed; active lifestyle, independent living, assisted living or a continuous care facility.  Learn how to adapt a home for the aging using a universal design.  Also included is staging a home for sale, avoiding scams, financial options/reverse mortgages, the cost of buying and selling/capital gains, and a question and answer period.

If you know of anyone that would benefit from my workshop and will be in the area at that time,  please encourage them to attend.
