At LeadingAge Kansas, we know some of the best ideas, insights, and learning opportunities come directly from our members! We are inviting members to submit speaker proposals for upcoming educational events and conferences.

Whether you work in direct care, dining services, activities, administration, leadership, or anywhere in between, we want to hear from you! Every role brings valuable knowledge, experiences, and perspectives worth sharing.

You don’t need to be a professional speaker or have a polished presentation. If you have an idea, a successful practice, a lesson learned, or something you’re passionate about, we encourage you to submit a proposal.

Help us create educational experiences that reflect the voices, expertise, and experiences of our entire membership!
