Staff
At the Grand Traverse County Senior Center Network, we are united by a shared purpose: to create a grand place to connect. We are dedicated to serving the social, recreational, and educational needs of older adults across our communities by providing a welcoming environment that is fun, safe, inclusive, and respectful for all.
Through engaging programs and meaningful experiences, we strive to offer opportunities for personal growth, connection, and lifelong fulfillment. Whether in Traverse City, Interlochen, Kingsley, or Fife Lake, we are committed to building vibrant spaces where seniors feel valued, supported, and inspired.
Together, as part of Grand Traverse County and under the guidance of the Board of Commissioners, we are proud to foster strong communities and lasting relationships—one connection at a time.
