“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”

Speaker Dori Gillam poses this question as part of her work helping others to discover new perspectives on aging. As an expert on aging and ageism, Gillam takes a multigenerational approach to raising awareness about ageism while helping folks to embrace the gifts of every age.

On Saturday, March 20, 2012 at 1pm, Third Place Commons invites you to join Gillam for a free, interactive conversation via Zoom entitled, “What’s Age Got to Do with It?”

Gillam has researched and spoken on ageism and aging for over 30 years. Her past roles include community organizer, trainer, and speaker for AARP and the King County Library System. 

She holds a BS in educational psychology and a teaching certificate for secondary education. She currently writes for 3rd Act Magazine, serves as board chair for the Northwest Center for Creative Aging, and is a charter member of Age Friendly Seattle.

Gillam’s approach to aging and conversations about age is joyful and engaging as she encourages us to see the strengths and potential of folks at every age, including our own.
