Welcome to the SJK Tribute Website

Shelley Joseph-Kordell was a geriatric care manager, a field that provides the elderly and their family with a variety of services including care coordination, medical advocacy, and arrangement of community services. In the mid-1980s she founded the company "Rent A Daughter" (Off Site) and was passionate about serving her clients. After her death in 2003, family, friends, and Hennepin County established a Steering Committee to create and oversee an annual Ceremony honoring her legacy.

The Annual Shelley Joseph-Kordell Award and Scholarship Ceremony is held each October at the end of the Fall Aging Conference (Off Site). The Ceremony has three goals:

• to raise the profile of aging-related issues through a keynote speaker and by honoring those working with seniors;
• to remember Shelley Joseph-Kordell and the commitment and passion with which she served her clients; and
• to raise money for the Shelley Joseph-Kordell Scholarship at the University of Minnesota through corporate sponsorship of the Ceremony and voluntary contributions.
