p r o g r a m www.iknowexpo.org

It’s an enormous pleasure for me to welcome you to the i know expo. I understand the urgent need for an event such as this because I have lived it in both my professional and personal lives.

On the personal front, I have been the primary caregiver to three close relatives.

As a business owner, I know the profound toll caregiving can take personally and economically.

And, as founder of ITNBluegrass, a nonprofit organization providing volunteer-based transportation solutions for seniors and the visually impaired, the need has been driven home by distraught calls from caregivers desperate for information and resources that would help relieve their stress as they care for people they love.

Those resources and that information is out there. The problem is finding it easily, in one place. As we hope you will today at the i know expo.

Please mingle and chat one-on-one with our exhibitors who are experts in their fields and attend informative presentations on the issues that matter more and more as we age. Our hope is that you walk away with things you need to know to make the years to come as good as the years gone by.

Gale ReeceFounderi know expo PS: And please thank our sponsors for their generosity to make this a free event.
