SilverSource Inc.– a leader in advocating for the needs of older adults and their families – will hold the 3rd Annual SilverSource Autumn Breakfast: Investment and Innovation in an Aging World. The awards celebrate volunteers, individuals, organizations or businesses making a significant difference in the lives of Fairfield County’s older adults. Nominations were evaluated by a panel of judges comprised of community, business and thought leaders. Crispin Baynes, Co-director NY Chapter of Aging 2.0, is the keynote speaker.

Roni Lang, a Greenwich Hospital employee, will receive the SilverSource Contribution To Community Award for An Outstanding Individual. Lang helped to develop the Stamford Hospital Geriatric Assessment Program, then went on to expand the Center for Healthy Aging at Greenwich Hospital. There she conducts geriatric assessments, psychotherapy for older adults and their families and facilitates multiple family support groups. Lang helped found the Connecticut Chapter Alzheimer’s Association educational conference, helped create the Connecticut Geriatric Society and she currently teaches a class on aging at UCONN.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the work of those who are helping older adults. The awards are a way for our community to learn about the heroes within their own neighborhoods, and become inspired to get involved in the support of our aging residents,” said Kathleen Bordelon, SilverSource Executive Director.

“It’s really wonderful to receive this award,” said Roni Lang. “You go to work every day not to win an award, but to do what you love to do. Being honored by the peers that I respect is really terrific,” she continued. “The value of the SilverSource Award is the fact that it recognizes not only my work, but a number of other people in New Canaan and the Fairfield County area who have committed to changing the lives of seniors,” said Jim Lisher.

The event takes place Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 7 to 9 a.m. at the at the Crowne Plaza Stamford Hotel. Tickets are now on sale and sponsorship opportunities are available. Visit SilverSource.org or call 203-324-6584.
