The Network on Multicultural Aging Award rewards organizations that have demonstrated high-quality, innovative programs enhancing the lives of a multicultural aging population. The applicants must be ASA members; their program should have a successful track record, and have been in existence for one year. Applicants will be judged on the program’s potential for replication, whether or not the organization is involved in partnerships or coalitions with other groups and the involvement of consumers and volunteers in program design.

The winner will have the opportunity to present a session at the AiA conference, receive complimentary registration and recognition in the conference’s program book.
