The formation of a society provides a much needed link between educators, practitioners, and administrators in various settings where older persons are served.
    • Mission: To promote scholarship, professionalism, friendship and services to older persons and to advance the education of those individuals in aging related fields.
    • SPO welcomes you to meet our members and share news reflecting excellence and outstanding service within our gerontology profession.
