"Our mission is to bring together like minded people to enhance the quality of life for seniors, and have fun doing it!"

PESID Founder
Certified Senior Advisor

Be one of us!

PESID, People Empowering Seniors Independence & Dignity was founded by Annette Fisher for Golden Maturity Inc, on March 23, 2010.

Our doors are open to anyone who cares about seniors. However, this is a private networking group and PESID an entity owned and operated by Golden Maturity Inc., reserves the right to approve or disapprove of membership. Basic membership is Free.

Many of the individual events have sponsorships.

So, come out for an enjoyable afternoon of sharing ideas. It’s up to us to decide what the future holds because we are People Empowering Seniors Independence & Dignity.

Please understand, PESID and or Golden Maturity Inc. are not taking on the task of vetting those folks who take part in a PESID membership. That being said, you should always find out what licenses someone has when they are perhaps offering to help you. Our meetings are a place for professionals serving the senior community, as well as those professionals who give support in some capacity to the senior community, to meet and network to develop resources to help seniors and their families. Folks who are retired or planning for their retirement years and their families are also very welcome to sign up for the free membership and can RSVP for both the free and paid meetings.

The free meetings are made possible by advertisers and sponsors, so please remember to thank them.
I hope to see you at PESID meetings.

Thank you
Annette Fisher
