The 28th Annual Missouri Institute on Meaningful Aging Conference kicked off yesterday in Columbia, bringing together older adults, community leaders, and advocates for meaningful conversations about aging with purpose and intention.

Today we’re remembering a truly special member of our SLHA family, Ms. Pamela Bush, someone whose energy, leadership, and heart touched so many of us.
For years, she was the life of the room at Circle of Friends, bringing warmth, quick wit, and a personality you couldn't help but smile around. She was always stepping up for her neighbors, whether serving on the Parkview Elderly Tenant Association Board or, most recently, being elected as a Resident Commissioner for the SLHA. That election said it all: her community trusted her, respected her, and wanted her leading the way.
Beyond the titles, she was just unforgettable. She had a style completely her own and knew how to make people laugh while still making sure her voice—and her neighbors' voices—were heard. She showed up with heart, genuine care, and a lot of flair. While her leadership was built on service, her presence was pure joy.
We’re so grateful for the laughter, the wisdom, and the time we got to spend with her. Commissioner Bush leaves a lasting mark on the SLHA community, and we will always remember her. ...
This summer, SLHA, in partnership with Safe Streets Safe Neighborhoods, gave local youth something far greater than a paycheck: an opportunity to reimagine their futures.
Through the newly launched S.E.E.D.S. Youth Workforce & Leadership Academy, teens spent eight weeks gaining hands-on work experience, developing leadership skills, connecting with community leaders—including St. Louis native and actor Isaac Keys—and participating in weekly personal growth and leadership workshops.
The cohort also partnered with local artist Bob Hansman of City Faces to transform their experiences and perspectives into a powerful mental health and wellness campaign. Today, they proudly shared that work at the Black Male Suicide Awareness Initiative press conference, presented by the Organization for Black Struggle at the Deaconess Center for Child Well-Being.
From gaining job skills to finding their voices, S.E.E.D.S. was about planting the foundation for brighter futures.
