ASPEC is founded on the principle that it is important for adults to remain involved and active.
Our 300+ members, whether in transition from one career to another or “retired,” are most engaged when they participate in lifelong learning and share a community of interests with others who believe that every stage of life can be a time of rejuvenation, enrichment, accomplishment and meaningful productivity.
Our activities are focused in four areas, which we refer to as our four pillars:
