Charles and Amy Miron, a husband and wife team, are relationship and sexuality educators and certified Diplomates of Sex Therapy who have been working in the field of sexuality for over four decades. They maintain three thriving practices: his, hers and theirs. Charles Miron obtained his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Maryland. He is a licensed clinical psychologist and was the chair of the psychology discipline at Community College of Baltimore County-Catonsville before retiring from his 45-year teaching career.

Amy Miron earned her master’s degree in counseling from The Johns Hopkins University and was a member of the Community College of Baltimore County adjunct faculty for 35 years.

The Mirons are the co-authors of How to Talk With Teens About Love, Relationships and S-E-X: A Guide for Parents. USA Today recommended their award-winning book as, “The perfect book for parents who feel ill at ease or ill-equipped to discuss sex with their kids.”

3:45 to 4 p.m Break

4 to 5 p.m. KEYNOTE: Joan Price | The 7 Myths About Sex & Aging

Our society believes destructive, limiting myths about sex and aging and, unfortunately, many seniors have internalized these myths. Joan Price shatters the myths and shares the most common questions that boomers, seniors and elders ask her. She’ll answer those questions, too — in the candid, upbeat manner that led the media to dub her “senior sexpert.”

Joan Price, our keynote speaker, calls herself an advocate for ageless sexuality. She’s known by the media as the “voice of senior sex.” She is the author of four books about sex and aging, including the award-winning Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex and Sex After Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Losing Your Beloved. At age 77, Joan continues to talk out loud about senior sex — partnered or solo. Find Joan and her books, webinars and blog at joanprice.com. This workshop, intended for both individuals and those in relationships, will explore many facets of sexuality, love and relationships. Strategies for keeping us and our relationships emotionally and sexually passionate will be explored, and myths and misinformation about aging and sexuality will be debunked with scientifically and medically accurate data.

5 to 5:15 p.m. Break

5:15 to 6:30 p.m. Clare Madrigal, R.N. | LGBTQ+ Social Hour (separate registration required).
