The annual Senior Summit returns on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May 14, 2022, when professionals and the community come together to celebrate senior adults and learn about services and opportunities in Summit County. Friday will consist of a professional conference providing CEU-/CLE-level sessions held from 8 a.m.-4:15 p.m. at St George Fellowship Centre.
