APPLICATION TO REPRESENT THE AGING LIFE CARE ASSOCIATION® TO OTHER PROFESSIONAL AGING RELATED ORGANIZATIONS

As part of the Aging Life Care Association (ALCA) 2018 strategic plan, the Board has accepted the recommendations that ALCA develop strong partnerships and relationships with national organizations providing services to the aging consumer such as the Alzheimer’s Association, National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (NAEPC), and National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA).

One way to establish and grow these relationships is to have a presence at the National conferences of these individual organizations. To that end, we are looking to develop a list of speakers who are willing and able to represent the Aging Life Care Association as well as offer a content-rich and appropriate presentation. We are also looking to expand visibility through webinar presentations.
