This conference offers personal and professional caregivers tools, insight, inspiration and support in the hard work that they do and the invaluable service that they offer to seniors in our community.

 

Featuring Keynote Speaker: Elizabeth Miller 

Elizabeth Miller founded Happy Healthy Caregiver, LLC, a Certified Caregiving Consultant, Certified Senior Advisor, and a sandwich generation and sibling family caregiver.

Her passion for sharing practical ways family caregivers can integrate self-care into their lives is infectious. She weaves personal caregiving stories and actionable systems into her interactive presentations. Her heartfelt messages reassure, educate, and inspire audiences. She believes that effective presentations both enlighten and arm attendees with a new approach, strategy, or tactic to apply immediately.

Elizabeth has shared her expertise with employees and employee resource groups at Visa, eBay, Home Depot, The J.M. Smucker Company, Quest Diagnostics, Kayak/OpenTable, and SiriusXM. She has also presented at National Caregiving Conferences, Area on Aging Caregiver events, Oklahoma Parkinson’s Alliance, ALS of Georgia, Torchlight Elder Community, Woodstock City Church, Cobb County Tax Commissioners Office, Artis Senior Living, and dozens of caregiving conferences including HFC’s CareCon, the Care Colloquium and the No Barriers USA Summit.

Sharing tried-and-true solutions for caregivers to prioritize their health & happiness.
