It's been an exciting day for Front Porch at LeadingAge California's annual conference! We started the morning with Kari Olson, Chief Innovation and Technology Officer and President and Founder of the Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing, talking during the Panel of Pundits about how AI can support people and make lives better. And at the noon Business Meeting & Awards Ceremony Luncheon, Sean Kelly, our CEO, was announced as a newly elected LeadingAge California director-at-large, and Home Match, Front Porch's home sharing program, received the award for Best Practice/Innovation of the Year Award. Wow! photo 1: Kari Olson pictured far right Photo 2: Tracy Powell , Diana Lopez, and Luke Barnesmoore #BOLD24 #Innovation #Leadership #Housing #AgingServices
