CSA Leaders Network

Our mission is to create a strategic network for Certified Senior Advisors (CSAs) that increases professional and public awareness of CSAs, provides resources and education, and promotes the value of the CSA dually accredited credential.

Northeast Region

Welcome to the CSA Leaders Group Network – North East Chapter, a collaborative learning community committed to advancing excellence, integrity, and innovation in aging services.

Our chapter was created for CSA members who believe that education is not just a credential requirement—it is a responsibility. Each month, we curate engaging, thoughtful, and practical educational programs designed to elevate professional expertise while supporting the people and families we serve. 1CE will be given for your attendance. *YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER & ATTEND TO RECEIVE THE CE CERTIFICATE. REGISTRATION LINK BELOW.

While we are rooted in the North East, our reach is intentionally global. We warmly welcome CSA members, their clients, colleagues, and professional partners from anywhere in the country—and the world—to join us. Aging impacts us all, and meaningful progress happens when knowledge is shared across disciplines, geographies, and perspectives.

Together, we are shaping the future of aging services—through connection, collaboration, and continued learning.

ZOOM Webinar

Program: Aging with Intention: Designing Your Next Chapter
Presenter: Roberta Taylor

January invites us to reimagine what we want the next season of life to look like. For older adults, it’s about shifting from “what’s ending” to “what’s next.” For professionals, it’s an opportunity to learn how to guide clients through meaningful goal-setting that aligns with their values, not just their to-do lists.

Takeaways for Professionals:

Learn conversation frameworks for helping clients articulate purpose and intention.
Understand how to support older adults in identifying what truly matters most after transitions (retirement, widowhood, downsizing).
Apply neuroscience-backed approaches to motivation and habit-building for older adults.
Takeaways for Older Adults & Families:

Tools for setting personal goals that honor your values, energy, and desired lifestyle.
How to create a plan for meaningful days filled with connection, creativity, and purpose.
Inspiration from others who reimagined their later years with joy and intention.
