Description

Please join us for our 29th Annual Caregivers Conference! Prepare to Care: Getting Your Ducks in a Row. This year's keynote speaker will be Major General Antonio M. Taguba, US Army Retired. He serves as a community ambassador for AARP. After his parents became ill, he and his siblings were ill-prepared to care for them. Faced with tough decisions about their health and finances, they managed to care for them the best they could. To help others, General Taguba now advocates for caregivers and their families. Born in Manila, Philippines in 1950, General Taguba joined the U.S. Army after graduating from Idaho State University in 1972. He served in numerous command and staff positions up to General Officer Level. His service tours included assignments inthe continental United States, South Korea, Germany, and Kuwait. He retired in 2007 having served 34 years on active duty as a decorated officere with the rank of "Major General" and an advocate for breaking down racial and ethnic barriers in the military.
