BAiP Presents

Several times a year, our BAiP Presents committee organizes presentations and discussions that feature experts and topics of special interest to seniors. While we are operating remotely, registration for our BAiP Presents events is required and events are for BAiP members only as a security measure.

Past presentations have discussed emergency safety, pain management, care-giving, Medicare, Social Security and elder law. These presentations are open to all and are very popular.

You will find a selected archive of information from past presentations in the Reference Library section of this website.

Highlights have included:

Preventing Falls
Emergency Planning
The Aging Brain and How to Keep It Fit
Your Home and Your Rights
