This year’s conference theme, “Why We Do What We Do” underscores the increasing demands that confront professionals in the field of Aging. Providing services for Aging Utahns under the continual threat of decreased staff and funding often calls for creative approaches to our work. Why DO you do what you do? We all have our own reasons for working in Aging, whether we stumble into it or set out to work in the field.
