&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,&lt;br /&gt;
so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;~Romans 15:13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;In the past year, everything has changed. A pandemic, civil reckoning and more have shaken&amp;nbsp;assumptions and norms to the core. With the rest of the world, PAHSA&amp;nbsp;members&amp;nbsp;have been forced to deal with restrictions, rapid adaptations, financial hits, human loss&amp;nbsp;and an uncertain future that redefines &amp;quot;normal.&amp;quot; Now senior living organizations are&amp;nbsp; emerging from this challenging journey. We&amp;#39;ve endured much, learned more and leaned on faith to carry us through. As the future unfolds, how do we measure our resilience, renew our hope, find courage to lead and encourage others embrace the&amp;nbsp;mission to serve God and older adults?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Join your colleagues in leadership and ministry to older adults as we explore these issues through the lens of faith and discernment. Together we aim to renew our common commitment to mission and faith-based culture, strengthen and refresh leaders and learn from forward-thinking ideas&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Keynote Speaker&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
