Dear Friend,

Our program will partner with The Conversation Project, a nationally recognized organizationdedicated to helping people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. Our keynote speaker will be Rev. Rosemary Lloyd. As an Advisor to the Faith-Based Community for The Conversation Project, The Rev. Rosemary Lloyd isdedicated to supporting clergy and congregations in having vital conversations about our unique wishes for care through the end of life. Rosemaryhas a life-long interest in end of life care and ethics.

Formerly the Associate Minister at the First Church in Boston, Rosemary has led courses in congregational settings on aging and end of life choices for more than 10 years, and now leads Starter Kit Workshops and preaches on related topics throughout Greater Boston.
This annual event is attended by professionals in elder care, social workers, and local clergy from all faiths, as well as members in the community who are interested. For LMHC professionals, continuing education credits are provided. The program has been developed through an interagency collaboration between The Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Jewish Community Services, and Miami Jewish Health Systems, and is supported by other partners who contribute to the success of the day. In that spirit, I would like to invite you to join us as a sponsor.
