WV Bureau of Senior Services

Robert W. Jackson Senior Conference

The late Robert W. Jackson was one of West Virginia’s most recognized senior advocates; he worked tirelessly both in state government and in the private sector to ensure improvements in policy, planning, and services to seniors. In his honor, the Bureau sponsors the Robert W. Jackson Senior Conference each year to provide workshops and activities for seniors from around the state.

This year’s conference was held May 26–28 at Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley. The theme, “Age Strong
Live Long,” was reflected in the workshops/activities scheduled for the three-day event.  Governor Joe Manchin III attended the luncheon on Thursday, May 27.  Photos from his visit are available.
