SUMMARY:Invisible Consequences: How Federal Policy Shapes Economic Security for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:2–3 PM Eastern | 11–12 AM Pacific \nFormat:\nLive Workshop \nPrice:\nThere is no cost to attend this event. \nCertificates & Credits:\nContinuing Education credits are not available for this course. \nRegister Now \nDescription: \nExplore how legislative changes—especially the Older Americans Act\, the Big Beautiful Bill and Social Security adjustments—affect older adults even when they are not the intended policy targets. Discuss how eligibility rules\, documentation requirements and reporting burdens create barriers to benefits such as Medicaid\, SNAP\, housing and caregiver assistance. Examine how policy shifts influence housing stability\, consumer debt (including mortgages and student loans) and caregiving supports\, all of which shape real-world access to basic security.\nProposed policy solutions include—simplifying eligibility and documentation across aging-related programs\, expanding automatic enrollment for means-tested benefits\, and funding the Older Americans Act at levels that sustain caregiving and housing stability. \nProjected fiscal impact: These reforms would require moderate federal and state administrative modernization investments (estimated $2–$4 billion) but could yield long-term savings of 5%–10% in benefit administration and healthcare costs by reducing duplication\, fraud and delayed access to preventive services. \nPresenters: \nOrion Bell\, MBA\, is president and CEO at the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging\, having joined Benjamin Rose in 2019 with more than 30 years’ leadership experience in not-for-profit management. Prior to Benjamin Rose\, he served as president and CEO at CICOA Aging and In-Home Solutions\, the largest of Indiana’s 16 Area Agencies on Aging\, overseeing a staff of 240 and an operating budget of $27 million. Bell is an active member of ASA’s Economic Security Advisory Council. \nRobert “Bob” Blancato is national coordinator of the bipartisan 3\,000-member Elder Justice Coalition\, and president of Matz\, Blancato and Associates\, executive director of the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs\, and national coordinator of the Defeat Malnutrition Today coalition. He has testified numerous times before House and Senate committees\, served 17 years as a staffer in Congress\, having been appointed by President Clinton to be executive director of the 1995 White House Conference on Aging\, one of four he participated in. He serves as second vice chair of the AARP board and on the AARP Foundation board\, as well as on the board of the National Hispanic Council on Aging. \nJudith Kozlowski is an independent elder justice consultant and a senior fellow at the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement. She was a subject matter expert with the DOJ Elder Justice Initiative for more than 10 years\, and prior to that\, senior advisor to the HHS Assistant Secretary for Aging and at the ACL\, where she helped develop national policy initiatives concerning elder abuse and financial exploitation. Kozlowski helped establish the Office for the Financial Protection of Older Americans at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She co-chairs ASA’s Economic Security Advisory Council. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the policy design process and unintended effects on aging populations\, caregivers and households carrying long-term debt.\nAnalyze real-world case studies of eligibility exclusion in Medicaid\, SNAP and housing programs.\nIdentify advocacy strategies to reduce administrative and procedural inequalities and to strengthen the caregiving and housing safety net.\n\n  \nWho should attend this session: \n\nNational\, state and local aging advocates\nPublic policy staff at nonprofits\, associations and foundations\nGovernment relations and policy analysts focused on aging\, health or economic security\nThink tank and research teams\nGovernment and public-sector administrators\n\nRegister Now \nThank you to our partners: \n                          \n \n  \nThis course is made possible in part by the generous support of Next50.

SUMMARY:On Aging Institute Summit
DESCRIPTION:Colorado’s population is changing faster than its systems. Are we building the infrastructure everyone needs—or just hoping it works out?\nHealthcare systems\, energy grids\, financial services\, technology platforms\, workforce pipelines—they’re all being reshaped by demographic change. But right now\, they’re being reshaped in silos. \nWhat if they weren’t? \nThe On Aging Institute Summit brings together leaders from across sectors who recognize that how we age isn’t someone else’s problem to solve. It’s the shared context in which every industry will operate for the next three decades. \n\n  \nThis Isn’t Another Aging Event\nIf you work in aging services\, you know the current system is fragmented and under-resourced. This summit is your chance to connect with decision-makers from healthcare\, tech\, finance\, and energy who need to understand what you’ve learned about designing for all ages. \nIf you work outside traditional aging services\, your industry is already being disrupted by demographic change—whether you see it yet or not. This summit connects you with the people who understand the infrastructure\, policy\, and lived experience challenges your customers and employees are navigating. \nEither way\, you’ll leave with: \n\nStrategic relationships across sectors that typically don’t talk to each other\nInsights on applying Colorado’s Multisector Plan on Aging to your work\nConcrete partnership opportunities identified during structured networking\nA clear understanding of where your organization fits in Colorado’s changing landscape\nDirect engagement with policy leaders shaping the state’s response to demographic change\n\n  \n\n  \nWho Should Attend\nThis summit is designed for executives\, directors\, and senior strategists from: \nHealthcare & Bioscience – designing prevention\, access\, and care delivery models\nInformation Technology – building platforms people across generations actually use\nEnergy & Infrastructure – ensuring affordability and climate resilience\nFinancial Services – protecting retirement security and preventing fraud\nAerospace & Manufacturing – adapting workforce and product strategies\nTourism & Hospitality – capturing Colorado’s multigenerational travel market\nPolicy & Advocacy – coordinating across jurisdictions and sectors\nCommunity Organizations – delivering services in the real world \n\n  \nWhat Makes This Different\nMost aging events talk about cross-sector collaboration. This summit is structured to create it. \nThroughout the day\, you’ll engage in facilitated dialogue designed to surface partnership opportunities\, identify shared challenges\, and build the relationships that make coordination possible. The Colorado Multisector Plan on Aging provides a framework for these discussions\, helping guide participants toward actionable strategies for cross-sector alignment and long-term impact. \nFollowing lunch\, the afternoon focuses on collective advocacy and systems change. You’ll hear from state policymakers and leaders and explore how collaborative networks can serve as a unified voice in advancing policies that address structural inequities and improve how all Coloradans experience aging. \nThis is your chance to be in the room when those partnerships form. \n\n  \nThe Opportunity Cost of Not Attending\nColorado is at an inflection point. The Multisector Plan on Aging has been released. Policy windows are opening. Funding is being allocated. \nThe question isn’t whether your industry will be affected by aging. It already is. \nThe question is whether you’ll help shape the response—or react to what others build. \nRight now\, decisions are being made about healthcare access\, technology adoption\, infrastructure investment\, workforce development\, and consumer engagement. Those decisions will either create an integrated system that works—or perpetuate the fragmentation that’s failing everyone. \nThe leaders who show up to this summit will be the ones forming the partnerships\, influencing the policy\, and building the solutions. \n\n  \nEvent Details\nDate: Tuesday\, October 28\, 2025\nTime: 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM MDT\nLocation: CU Anschutz Elliman Conference Center\, 1890 N. Revere Ct.\, Aurora\, CO 80045 \nRegistration includes: \n\nFull-day access to all sessions\nStructured networking with curated cross-sector introductions\nLunch and refreshments\nFacilitated discussion on Colorado Multisector Plan on Aging\nFollow-up connection to On Aging Institute programming\n\n  \n\n  \nQuestions?\nContact Julia Burrowes\, Associate Director\, On Aging Institute at institute@asaging.org \n\n  \nThank You to Our Sponsors

SUMMARY:How Men Can Thrive as They Age: Lessons from the Life Transition Group
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nDate: Monday\, July 28\, 2025\nStart time: 9 AM Pacific | 12 PM Eastern\nEnd time: 10 AM Pacific | 1 PM Eastern \nMany older men today are struggling—with loneliness\, declining happiness\, and alarming suicide rates among those ages 75 and older. Yet promising new paths are emerging\, offering ways for men to age with purpose\, health\, and connection. At the heart of these approaches is a reimagining of masculinity—expanding the notion of “provider\,” embracing emotional openness\, and intentionally building strong relationships. A compelling example of this evolution is the Life Transition Group (LTG)\, a Southern California–based circle of older men who have supported one another for more than 16 years. \nThis interactive session will be led by Ed Frauenheim\, an expert on masculinity and co-author of “Reinventing Masculinity\,” and Ron Dresher\, co-founder of LTG. Frauenheim’s 2024 Psychology Today article\, “Older Men Are Hurting—Here’s How They Can Thrive Instead\,” highlighted LTG as a model for male well-being in later life. The session will draw on that article and a workshop Frauenheim facilitated for LTG on “Reinventing Masculinity as We Age\,” offering practical insights and inspiration. \nTogether\, Frauenheim and Dresher will explore what it means for men to age well—focusing on community\, purpose and redefined masculinity—and how these lessons can be applied more broadly. \nPresenters:\nRon Dresher is a semi-retired judge and co-founder of the Life Transition Group. With a legal career rooted in public service\, he now focuses on helping older men navigate retirement with intention and vitality. His leadership in LTG reflects a commitment to fostering community\, supporting personal growth\, and redefining success in later life. \nEd Frauenheim is a writer\, speaker and consultant with more than 25 years’ experience dedicated to reinventing masculinity\, workplaces\, and society for a more connected and compassionate world. He has contributed to outlets such as USA Today\, Harvard Business Review\, and Fortune. Previously he served as director of content at Great Place to Work\, the consultancy behind the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Adverse Effects of Ageism on Physical and Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nDate:\nThursday\, July 24\, 2025\nStart time: 6 AM Pacific | 9 AM Eastern\nEnd time: 7 AM Pacific | 10 AM Eastern \nAgeism and racism adversely affect health in multiple ways beyond socioeconomic factors. Internalizing ageist or racist beliefs impairs our immune system and reduces self-efficacy. In addition\, many health conditions attributed to aging—such as memory loss\, hearing decline and cardiovascular disease—are influenced more strongly by negative ageist stereotypes than by family history\, genetics or chronological age. Fortunately\, we can dismantle ageist and racist beliefs to profoundly benefit our mental and physical health. This presentation examines how beliefs\, expectations and stereotypes influence epigenetic mechanisms\, neural activity and immune function\, and how we can change our thinking to grow bolder rather than older. \nPresenter:\nDr. Helena Popovic\, MBBS\, is a medical doctor\, international speaker\, best-selling author\, and leading authority on improving brain function. A graduate of the University of Sydney\, she empowers people to take charge of their physical and mental health with the philosophy that decisions are more powerful than DNA and education is more powerful than medication. \nDrawing on more than 30 years of clinical and personal experience\, Dr. Popovic presents a groundbreaking approach to boosting brain performance\, managing weight\, and achieving lifelong vitality. \nRegister Now
