For the Regional Change AGEnt Conversation Series
You’re invited to attend a FREE evening of conversation with neighbors and local leaders about cultivating age-positive communities across Maine.
We were so inspired by the creative approaches people shared at the 2023 Change AGEnt Summit, that we wanted to take these conversations on the road! This series is designed to celebrate what’s working to support older adults locally that could be implemented regionally.
By addressing the needs of older adults and thinking about aging in new ways, we can build communities that support everyone across their life span. Please join us!

Highlights from the 2023 Change AGEnt Summit
The Change AGEnt Summit
Creatively building purpose, belonging, and inclusion into our new longevity
September 27, 2023 | 8:00am – 4:30pm
Augusta Civic Center, Augusta, ME
From building longevity-ready communities to aligning health spans with life spans, the 2023 Change AGEnt Summit sparked creative and innovative thinking on what it will take to build systems that support healthy, engaged living into our 80s, 90s, and beyond!
We were joined by over 300 Change AGEnts on September 27th to help us build an age-positive Maine – thank you for joining us!
We’re living longer than ever before but our thinking about aging and older people hasn’t changed, and our communities, institutions, and systems haven’t caught up to support our new old age. While change is hard, it’s time to embrace a new map of life and build flexibility into how we learn, work, and live across a lifetime. This informative, interactive, and inspiring Summit explored what’s holding us back from embracing aging as a lifetime journey of learning, growth, and health and how a shift in perspective can propel us to positive action that can transform our workplaces, communities and economy.
Below you’ll find the graphic illustrations that captured the innovations and inspirations of the day – plus meet the amazing speakers, full program, and more!
