Excited to speak at the ENGAGE! conference about the importance of knowing your neighbors!

🎤 Meet Our Keynote Speakers for ENGAGE! Learning More, Living Well!

This year's opening keynote will explore the theme: 👉 Connected, Capable, and Thriving — Aging Well in Colorado Springs. We're honored to welcome two inspiring community leaders whose work reflects the power of connection, purpose, and lifelong engagement.

Nancy Henjum, Colorado Springs City Councilmember, District 5, has dedicated her career to strengthening communities through leadership development, behavioral health, civic engagement, and public service. Through her work as a clinical therapist, executive coach, community volunteer, and elected leader, Nancy has spent decades helping individuals and organizations thrive.

Joining her is Kelly Bull, Executive Director of Hey Neighbor, a nonprofit dedicated to helping neighbors build meaningful relationships and stronger communities. Kelly's journey from designing sustainable landscapes to cultivating social connections has reinforced her belief that healthy communities are built when people come together, care for one another, and invest in the places they call home.

Together, Nancy and Kelly will kick off ENGAGE! with a conversation about what it means to remain connected, capable, and thriving as we age. Their message will highlight the importance of community, belonging, purpose, and the opportunities that exist for all of us to continue learning, contributing, and living well.
