Changemakers in Action: Advocacy for Aging Services

Every voice matters—but the most powerful voices are those that take action.  We invite members to participate in the upcoming sessions leading up to our Advocacy Day on January 15^th.  We invite all LeadingAge Nebraska members to spend some time during your week learning how to turn passion into policy and become confident, effective advocates for older adults. 

Through interactive virtual sessions led by experienced professionals and policymakers, participants will gain practical tools to share their stories, engage elected officials, testify with impact, and build relationships that last.  Each session builds on the next, helping leaders embed advocacy into their organization’s mission and strengthen the collective voice of aging services in Nebraska. 

Join us to take action and invest in learning how your leadership can influence the future of care and services for older Nebraskans.
