2022 Show Me Summit on Aging & Health
Sept. 12-14, 2022: After a two-year pause, ma4 brought the annual Show Me Summit on Aging and Health to Kansas City, joining with the annual Age Positive: Ideas for an Age-Friendly Future Conference. The Summit was organized around the theme “We Are Better Together!”
More than 300 attendees heard from experts in the field of aging at the Intercontinental Hotel on the Plaza. The conference was targeted to those working with older adults in area agencies on aging, senior centers, community centers, libraries, park districts and other venues that offer programming or services for older adults.
The 2022 Summit was a welcome return and was especially celebratory in partnership with Age Positive.





Kathy Greenlee, J.D., 2022 Keynote Speaker
Kathy Greenlee encouraged participants to share their voices in advocacy for Missouri’s adults who are aging and adults living with disabilities. The best advocates are trusted, smart, steady, helpful, resourceful, and compassionate. They believe in mission and in people. A great advocate understands their voice matters.
