Working collaboratively with the FrameWorks Institute, eight leading aging organizations (AARP; American Federation for Aging Research; American Geriatrics Society; American Society on Aging; Gerontological Society of America; Grantmakers in Aging; National Council on Aging; and National Hispanic Council on Aging) will address public perceptions of older adults: who they are, what issues affect them, how they contribute to our society, and how society can best integrate their needs and contributions. The project is managed by Laura Robbins of Laura A. Robbins Consulting, LLC.
