The USC Davis School hosts a panel discussion on ways to improve the Older Americans Act before its re-authorization.
Los Angeles leaders and audience members alike will have the opportunity to shape history at the USC Davis School of Gerontology. Part of a nationwide series of panel discussions co-hosted by the Age4Action Network, this forum will give leading experts in the field — as well as audience members — the opportunity to suggest improvements to the Older Americans Act. The collected ideas will be summarized and shared with Congress prior to the Act’s re-authorization in 2011.
Enacted in 1965 alongside Social Security and Medicare, the Older Americans Act outlines funding for services, training and research aimed at improving the lives of older Americans.
Similar forums have already been held in Las Vegas, Philadelphia, St. Paul, Denver and St. Louis. The Los Angeles event will be locally co-hosted by the University of California Berkeley Retirement Center, the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, Experience Wave and The Gerontological Society of America.
Speakers will include USC Davis School of Gerontology Dean Gerald C. Davison; former U.S. Senator (Penn.) Harris Wofford; and Laura Trejo, general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Aging.
The four panels will consider everything from community service and volunteers to the importance of learning and leadership for older Americans.
Attendees will be treated to a light lunch afterward.
