Presidential Candidates Senior Issues Forum

Presidential Candidates Senior Issues Forum

SeniorCare will host a Viewing Party of a Presidential Candidates Senior Issues Forum on Wednesday, February 17, at 1:00 p.m. The Forum will be live-streamed in the Myra Herrick Conference Room at SeniorCare’s offices at 49 Blackburn Center in Gloucester. There is no charge for the viewing and anyone interested in this important conversation is invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.

Presidential candidates from both parties have been invited to participate in the Forum. Seniors Decide 2016 is a forum developed by the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations to provide a fair and unbiased platform for sharing the views of candidates for President of the United States on policies and programs affecting older Americans. The 72 member organizations that make up the LCAO represent a diverse membership of older Americans and their caregivers, and professionals engaged in the public policy arena.

Older Americans and others interested in this important conversation are invited to participate prior to the Forum by encouraging the candidates to participate via Social Media— Facebook & Twitter—including #SeniorsDecide in social media messages. Candidate’s social media contact information can be found online at www.seniorsdecide.org. In addition, questions for the Forum may be submitted online at www.seniorsdecide.org.
