In August, over 500 people attended the annual Boulder County Senior Law Day held at the Plaza Conference Center in Longmont. Keynote speaker Stan Garnett, District Attorney for Boulder County, talked about how important it is for seniors to be informed about senior issues on fraud and other crimes and how it impacts them.
The Boulder County Senior Law Day committee (pictured above) started planning for this event over nine months ago. Committee Chairperson Mary Cowen (center in yellow vest), along with 60 wonderful volunteers from the senior industry dedicated many hours in creating this annual event.
Seniors received lots of beneficial information during the 24 classes presented by elder law attorneys, mortgage and real estate specialists, medical personnel, physical therapists, social workers and a fraud specialist. Many of the class topics included End-of-Life Issues, Fraud Prevention, Housing Issues, Long Term Care Planning, Real Estate Issues, Wills & Trusts, Conservatorships & Guardianships, and VA Benefits.
Seniors also received a tote bag with the sponsor’s information and a Senior Law Handbook at the end of the seminar. Overall, many seniors complimented the organizers for an outstanding event. A delightful lunch and Ask-an-Attorney consultations provided many seniors with help on legal issues they may be facing.
Over 35 exhibitors represented many senior related services and provided beneficial information for the attendees. Thanks to these Titanium sponsors: Boulder County Area Office on Aging and Frazier Meadows Senior Living including the Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze sponsors plus the committee volunteers for making the Boulder County Senior Law Day a grand success!
