Who will be presenting at the Lehigh Valley Symposium?

The featured speaker at the Lehigh Valley Aging in Place Symposium is Amanda Bulgarelli. Growing up with Teepa Snow as a mother, Amanda Bulgarelli has been a part of the Positive Approach to Care® from the beginning, serving originally as a teenage volunteer while Teepa developed and refined her approach and skills. After earning her master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Administration, Amanda worked as an educator and leader in schools and other learning platforms for over 10 years. She then decided to join the Positive Approach to Care® team as a Lead Mentor, Trainer, Speaker, and Leader. Her skills and experience working with students and adults from around the globe have proven to be a tremendous asset to PAC. Through years of teaching, she has grown her ability to give each person in the room an individual experience while learning new information or skills.
