2023 Keynote Speaker

DR. IMANI WOODY 

Founder & CEO, Mary’s House for Older Adults, Inc., Washington, D.C.

Nationally known thought leader Dr. Imani Woody has advocated for the rights of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+/SGL (Same Gender Loving) people for more than 25 years. She has worked tirelessly to address the many challenges these groups confront as they age.

Woody retired from AARP to pioneer the building of safe, alternative community housing for LGBTQ+/SGL people over age 60. She established Mary’s House for Older Adults (MHFOA) to serve LGBTQ+/SGL elders experiencing housing insecurity and isolation.

She has a doctorate in Public Service Leadership and a master’s in Human Services from Lincoln University. Her many awards include Next Avenue’s 2019 Influencers in Aging, Forbes Business of Pride, and the SAGE Creating Change Advocacy Award. Woody founded the Living Life Like It’s Golden program to empower people to live their lives more fully through visioning.

In addition to the Keynote Speaker, the Conference will offer nine workshops. Attendees will choose three workshops to attend during the day-long conference.
