2025-2026 Speaker Series
SSALA offers our Member schools a range of annual speaker events to address critical questions and promote conversations about the issues we confront today and what we will engage with tomorrow.
February 10th & 11th, 2026: The Sandwich Generation
In-Person at The Wise School and Crossroads (Live-Stream + Recorded)
Did you know that 63 million Americans are caring for aging parents, while 1 in 3 are also raising their children? Welcome to the "sandwiched" generation - you are not alone!
SSALA presents The Sandwich Generation, with CBS contributor, podcaster and principal at Offit|Kurman, lawyer/estate planner Candace Dellacona, along with psychologist, podcaster and author Christy Byrne Yates (Building a Legacy of Love). Hear insightful tips and practical approaches to communicating with parents and children. Access useful take-aways to start the process or build upon your existing plans.
We're offering two in-person locations (Crossroads School and The Wise School) along with live-streamed / recorded options available. Come join us to meet with Candace and Christy personally, participate in the live Q&A, and get your free copy of Building a Legacy of Love signed by the author.
Member School registrants can submit their questions ahead of time. See your SSALA Representative for details.
