Join us on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, in recognition of annual SAVvy Day, a national movement redefining what it means to navigate life solo. SAVvy Day shifts the conversation from uncertainty to intention—celebrating the creativity, resilience, and leadership of people aging independently.
👉Policy Solutions for Solo Aging
One of the highlights of the day is a timely and thought‑provoking presentation led by Sharon Dornberg‑Lee, Clinical Director of Community Services at CJE SeniorLife. Sharon will explore the growing reality of solo aging—not just as a personal journey, but as a critical social and societal issue that has too often been overlooked.
Her session will examine policy ideas that can support successful solo aging, and how solo agers themselves can help advance meaningful change. It’s a powerful conversation about visibility, advocacy, and building systems that reflect the lives people are actually living.
