The Northern Plains Conference on Aging and Disability is a preeminent event designed to bring together elders, the general public, and professionals who share a common interest in the graying of the Northern Plains. Public and private agencies and organizations of every category are seeing the wisdom of working together in service delivery. The conference focuses on trends, policy, technology and self-determination. It plays an important role in facilitating meaningful dialog between professionals and consumers.
