Sharon Canner is president of Reston for a Lifetime (https://www.restonforalifetime.org), a non-profit that provides information and resources for aging in place. 

According to a 2021 AARP survey, 84% of older Americans want care at home if they need long-term help with daily activities and 79% want to stay in their community as long as possible. Living in Fairfax County, we have access to a rich number of resources that can help you age in place. We offer a website, a free monthly newsletter, a webinar series, and in-person educational events that fulfill our mission. Sharon will talk about the organization’s planned future and share written information that may be useful to those who may want to create a plan for aging in place.

A long-time Reston resident,  Sharon is President of Reston for a Lifetime. She is a retired healthcare professional with a background in government affairs, advocacy and information technology policy. Sharon has been leading Reston for a Lifetime since 2014.
