Description:
Ageism is rampant, in ourselves, our work, our organizations and our policies. And we know it has extraordinarily negative effects on economic opportunity, health, social connection and community, as well as on our ability to reach and successfully serve older adults.
The good news is that we can do something about it.
For Ageism Awareness Day, anti-ageism activist and age-inclusion expert Janine Vanderburg will deliver a special presentation for the American Society on Aging, covering:
- Ageism and its impact on everything that surrounds us
- How we can identify ageism in ourselves, our work and in public policy
- Effective strategies for addressing ageism, and how we can use successful lessons from social change movements to end ageism
The presentation will end with a call for participants to take actions to end ageism together. The call will include 9 things anyone can do in 10 minutes or less.
On Aging Institute Faculty:
Janine Vanderburg is CEO of Encore Roadmap, and speaks, writes, and consults with businesses, media and brands on how they can end ageism and become more age-inclusive. Her ageism activism is informed not only by research, but also by three and a half decades running a social sector consulting firm, where she worked with leading changemakers across the United States and beyond to develop social and organizational change strategies, raise funds and evaluate impact, and design and implement large-scale capacity-building initiatives for the federal government and private foundations. In 2018, Janine co-founded Changing the Narrative, a leading U.S. campaign to end ageism, through which she has trained 30,000 people in all in 50 states and 49 countries in ageism, reframing aging, and creating more age-inclusive workplaces, marketing and communications.
