Keynote Speaker: John L. McKnight

Every community grows stronger as more and more of its members contribute their gifts, capacities, and skills. Aging is the process by which we grow in giftedness. John McKnight will describe how gifts get given in ways that strengthen our communities—and ourselves.

A Professor of Education and Social Policy and co-director of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute at Northwestern University, McKnight researches social service delivery systems, health policy, community organizations, neighborhood policy, and institutional racism.
