Closing ASA Communities FAQ

When will ASA Communities close?

ASA Communities will close on July 7, 2026, at 12 a.m. ET. Members will no longer be able to log in after that time.

What should I do before July 7?

Review your content and save or download any files, posts, messages, professional contacts, or other information you wish to retain before the platform closes. Instructions are available below.

How will I connect with other members during the interim period?

Our commitment to helping ASA members like you build relationships, exchange knowledge, and connect across the field of aging remains unchanged. Members may continue connecting through attending our annual On Aging Conference.

This summer, ASA is launching Community Groups — facilitated peer groups where members explore the issues, challenges, and opportunities that matter most to the aging field. Each group is focused on a specific topic, led by an ASA staff facilitator, and designed around the idea that the most valuable knowledge in this field is in the people doing the work. What’s learned in each group gets shared across the ASA community, so every member benefits. Community Groups are open to ASA members only. More information on schedule, topics, and how to sign up is coming in the weeks ahead.

What will happen to my personal data?

ASA will manage member information in accordance with its privacy and data-retention policies. You can view the full policy here.

Who should I contact with questions?
