Education and Programs
In its continued effort to provide turn-key information to its membership, AJAS hosts a number of education events each year. These programs include, but are not limited to:
- AJAS Annual Conference – Every year, the AJAS Annual Conference provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas concerning every facet in the field of Jewish aging. AJAS spends months in planning this blockbuster event and spares no effort in gathering the very best presenters to discuss the hottest issues affecting member organizations. Many members say the AJAS Annual Conference is the single most important meeting they attend each year.
- Regional Forums – AJAS Regional Forums are one-day gatherings hosted by member organizations that provide an opportunity for other members to come together with local colleagues to focus on hot industry topics. The Forums contain both structured presentations, plenty of time for networking and a site tour of the host facility.
- Webinars – AJAS hosts several 1-hour web-conferences each year to give members from across the United States and Canada an interactive forum to share programs, best practices and innovations from their own organizations with a large audience.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or programs:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
