Dr. Sandy Pensoneau-Conway will be the featured speaker at the January 15 meeting of Southern Illinois Learning in Retirement (SILIR).

She is also a proud member of the southern Illinois queer community.

She has conducted workshops and trainings for various offices on the SIU campus, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Boys and Girls Club of Southern Illinois, and is very glad for the opportunity to speak with Learning in Retirement participants.
