Engaging Historically Marginalized Older Adults in Age-Friendly Communities: AFNJ June 2022 Meeting
Our June 8, 2022 alliance meeting on “Engaging Historically Marginalized Older Adults in Age-Friendly Communities” had two enlightening presentations by Drs. Laurent Reyes and Melanie Plasencia, followed by a lively Q & A session. Some key takeaways included: • The importance of recruiting people with historically marginalized identities as leaders; • Designing events that include elements of cultural importance; and • Recognizing the leadership already occurring in communities.
