A Call for Leadership in Aging
The Hartford Foundation Annual Report traditionally features a program within a discipline or a specific initiative. This year is different. The 2008 Annual Report highlights a theme—leadership. We celebrate leaders in geriatric nursing, social work, and medicine—both established and emerging—and issue a call to expand leadership in aging. This report illustrates the need to develop leaders to address our increasing aging population. It outlines the 26-year history of leadership efforts at the Hartford Foundation and recognizes key leadership efforts launched by other funders. The report also identifies essential elements for leadership development and describes how these elements are incorporated within four current Hartford projects. Finally, we invite individuals, organizations, and funders to partner on efforts to develop future leaders in aging.
