Mady Prowler and Dick Goldberg, who between them have more than fifteen years’ experience helping older adults figure out their next steps, will co-facilitate a conversation about ideas for what to do with your life in its next phase... whether looking for a job, pursuing an “encore” career, thinking about who you are now— and how to become the “new” you.

• How do you go about deciding what really has meaning for you?
• What resources do you need to do this?
• What are some potential obstacles and what are strategies for over-
  coming them?

These and other important questions ... and your questions about mapping your future, following that map, and making adjustments to it ... will be what Mady, Dick, and all of us talk about.

As the Assistant Director at the "Coming of Age" program at Temple University, Mady facilitated and trained adults interested in exploring their futures. More recently, she was the Operation Manager for a respite program that provided resources and action-steps for family members caring for their elders at home. Mady has worked in volunteer programs throughout the city's schools and in social services and has received a B.S. in Education, a B.A. in History and an M.S.W. in Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. 

Dick is the former national director of Coming of Age, the national older adult civic engagement initiative now based at New York's Presbyterian Senior Services. He is also a Guggenheim fellow and the author of Family Business, which ran a year off-Broadway and was a Burns-Mantle Best Play.
