Adam Webber
Board advisor
Dignity Seniors Society
Adam Webber (he/him) became interested in elder care while working as a health care aide in an Alberta assisted living home. He received on-the-job training and quickly discovered a strong desire to help older adults and their families.
It is through this work that Adam discovered some gaps within our eldercare system and decided to do something to help bridge those gaps.
Adam has completed a Bachelor of Professional Arts (BPA) in Human Services, and a Gerontology Certificate.
As a transmasculine person, Adam has focused much of his work on 2SLGBTQIA+ older adults, with the goal of understanding and supporting the specific needs of trans-identified older adults.
A former member of the Board of Advisors at Dignity Seniors Society (DSS), after leaving British Columbia Adam continues to serve Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors as a valued member of the Public Advocacy, Research and Education Committee at Senior Pride Network Canada/Réseau de la Fierté des personnes aînées du Canada (SPNC/RFAC). DSS was helped co-found and is a frontline member of SPNC/RFAC - which advocates for, and empowers older, senior, and elder 2SLGBTQIA+ people across Canada.
In his personal time, Adam enjoys spending time with his dog, Brin, and partner, Danielle. He enjoys crocheting, reading, spending time outside when it is warm, camping, boating, and playing games with friends.
