Subject: [APAGENET] Careers in Aging Week - April 19 - 25, 2020

Dear APAGENET Members,

Next week, April 19th - 25th is Careers in Aging Week<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.geron.org/programs-services/careers-in-aging-week__;!!PhOWcWs!lb0cbDYRG4tY4htmZreBxj4PsRufy2YytxQfUkwEj8t-P0OgsjsPN7-gjr2sJbOcP4s$> (CIAW). The American Psychological Association Office on Aging and Committee on Aging are participating in this event, hosted by the Gerontological Society of America. The demand for psychologists and other professionals with expertise in aging is growing rapidly.
