Reflections on Aging Advocacy and Imperatives for its Future

In this free-ranging conversation, CEJC Executive Director Lisa Nerenberg speaks with elder justice expert and advocate (and former CA State Ombudsman) Bill Benson. He draws from his decades of experience as an advocate and policy maker to reflect on the past, current status, and future of the elder justice movement. Among the topics he addresses are the Older American's Act's explicit requirements for advocacy by the aging network and how states have interpreted and capitalized on them. He weighs in on the President's budget for 2020 and congressional response to it, highlighting opportunities it offers states, and discusses the future of the Elder Justice Act. Lisa Nerenberg provides an update on CEJC's National Advocates Academy and its role in organizing the new National Network of Elder Justice Coalitions.

This National Elder Justice Advocates Academy webinar was hosted by CEJC with support from the Huguette Clark Family Fund for the Protection of Elders.
