HOUSTON – Recently, more than 1,100 senior citizens from across the state attended Houston City Council Member Amanda Edwards’ The Empowered You: Houston Senior Citizens Conference. It served as a one-stop-shop event which provided resources and information to help senior citizens thrive in this season of their lives. The event consisted of dynamic speakers, informative workshops, community resources and a host of other fun activities ranging from cooking classes to line dancing. “In my role, I always strive to empower residents and equip communities the tools they need to succeed,” Houston City Council Member Amanda Edwards said. “Giving seniors the information they need to make this the best chapter of their lives is what this conference is all about.”

The Empowered You included more than just good fun, participants had the opportunity to receive health screenings.

“Seeing the smiles on all the residents’ faces and watching them choose which workshops they want to attend really makes all this worth it,” Edwards said. “I would like to thank all of our community partners, speakers, resource fair participants, volunteers, my staff, and everyone who attended who helped make the event such a success.”
