The Professional Network on Aging (PNA) comprises over 132 organizations and 308 individuals serving today’s and tomorrow’s seniors. The PNA provides an opportunity for those individuals serving seniors to come together for professional development and elevate the quality of life of those they serve. The PNA serves the mid-south area with members from Shelby, Fayette, McNairy and Tipton counties in Tennessee; Crittenden County in Arkansas and Desoto County in Mississippi.
The goal of the Professional Network on Aging is to educate individuals on the issues that concern seniors in the community and to disseminate information and ideas to assist senior adults. The PNA is able to meet this goal by sponsoring events and workshops annually to provide an opportunity to network, have educational seminars and promote services available.
