Attending the USAging Answers on Aging Annual Conference provided several Aging Ahead staff with the opportunity to come together with local leaders, government experts, policymakers, business leaders, and other Aging Network practitioners and partners to share knowledge, insights and new directions in the field of aging.
The USAging Conference provided attendees with peer-to-peer learning, insight into federal policy and national trends that affect local communities, and tremendous opportunities for learning. In addition, the conference offered different ways to learn about and discuss innovative approaches, hot topics, current issues in aging, replicable programs, new opportunities for procuring sustainable funding streams and more. The staff returned home full of new insights, best practice examples, program ideas and connections to other aging colleagues who understand the challenges and opportunities ahead.
USAging is the national association representing and supporting the network of Area Agencies on Aging and advocating for the Title VI Native American Aging Programs. Prior to August 25, 2021, USAging was known as the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging. USAging and their members, which includes Aging Ahead, work to improve the quality of life and health of older adults and people with disabilities, including supporting people with chronic illness, people living with dementia, family caregivers and others who want to age well at home and in the community. Together, we are working to help ensure that all people can age well. Source: USAging.org
