Indiana Geriatrics Society
American Geriatrics Society 2009 Annual Scientific Meeting
If you were not able to attend the annual American Geriatrics Society’s annual meeting, you missed a lot! One of the highlights was seeing Dr. Rappaport accept the award for IGS for the Public Policy Grassroots Program Award. Mark your calendars now for 2010 for AGS in Orlando Florida at the Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin Hotel Wednesday, May 12 thru Saturday May 15.
The Annual Indiana Dinner night during the AGS conference was a great success with a total of 30 attending on Thursday evening, April 30th. See if you recognize anyone on the next page!

One of our goals this year is to continue to promote and grow IGS, so we are in the planning stages of scheduling “Meet and Greet” sessions in key cities throughout the state of Indiana. Chris Redmond has agreed to facilitate these sessions.
