    Advocacyn4a advocates on behalf of older adults, caregivers,

    people with disabilities and the aging professionals

    who assist them. n4a is the advocacy voice for

    AAAs and Title VI Native American aging programs,

    and works to advance policies that effectively and

    efficiently address the needs of aging America. n4a‘s

    policy priorities include the reauthorization of the

    Older Americans Act, enhancing the health of older

    adults, and developing livable communities‘ initiatives

    and mobility options for seniors.

    While continually monitoring the big picture of aging

    policy, programs and services, n4a’s heart remains

    at the local level, where older adults and caregivers

    benefit immeasurably from the services that AAAs and

    Title VI aging programs provide.

    Actionn4a trains, prepares and honors aging leaders and

    professionals. n4a is working consistently to create

    leaders and system-wide excellence throughout the

    Aging Network. Challenges such as the aging of the

    boomers, limited funding available for services, and

    the significant health and long-term care needs that

    the aging population requires demand excellence in

    leadership and specialized training. n4a has launched

    the following efforts to ensure local aging leaders

    and their organizations are ready to face an aging

    population and are recognized for the work they do:

    TRAIN AND PREPARE

    ▶ n4a Leadership Institute—Held annually and

    supported by corporate partners (Harmony and

    Bateman Senior Meals), the Leadership Institute

    prepares the country’s local aging leaders for

    boomers entering the aging service system, while

    also preparing the network for the challenge of losing

    local leaders to retirement.

    ▶ Capacity Building—n4a, in partnership with Scripps

    Gerontology Center at Miami University, heads

    a multifaceted initiative involving surveys of the

    network to assess capacity and technical assistance

    tools to support capacity development of the network

    to expand home and community-based options for

    older people and/or their caregivers.

    ▶ Aging and Disability Partnership for Managed

    Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS)—

    n4a, in partnership with other aging and disability

    organizations, is leveraging the resources of both

    networks’ extensive infrastructure, service capacityand experience to ensure the delivery of high-quality

    MLTSS.

    HONOR

    ▶ Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards—n4a

    and sponsor CST-LTL recognize excellence through

    this annual awards program. The most innovative and

    successful aging services programs are honored and

    shared as best practices so they can be replicated by

    the Aging Network, where applicable.

    ▶ Excellence in Leadership Award—n4a honors

    excellence among individual aging leaders with this

    annual award. This is the highest honor existing for

    local aging leaders.

    Answers on Agingn4a provides Answers on Aging to consumers and

    professionals. These initiatives provide outreach and

    education through the network of local AAAs and

    Title VI Native American aging programs that help

    older adults remain in their homes and communities,

    including the following outreach strategies:

    ▶ Eldercare Locator—In partnership with and funded

    through a grant from AoA, n4a administers a state-

    of-the-art national call center to connect older adults

    and caregivers to AAAs, Title VI aging programs and

    other trusted resources in their communities. The call

    center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m.

    to 8:00 p.m. ET and offers information on long-term

    care alternatives, transportation options, caregiver

    issues and government benefits eligibility.

    ▶ The Aging Network’s Volunteer Collaborative—The Collaborative is a virtual resource center offering

    the latest strategies, principles and practices that are

    producing an 8:1 return on investment for agencies

    committed to change how they think about and

    utilize volunteers to meet the increasing demand for

    services across the Aging Network.

    ▶ National Center on Senior Transportation (NCST)—

    In partnership with Easter Seals and other partners,

    n4a provides technical assistance to professionals

    at the local and state levels to improve and expand

    transportation options that help older adults live

    more independently in their communities. NCST also

    conducts research and provides demonstration grants

    to learn about and advance transportation options for

    older adults.

    ▶ Pilot and Demonstration Grants—In partnership

    with corporate entities and other organizations, n4aworks to provide a vehicle to test, document and

    share best practices through local AAAs and Title VI

    aging programs. Pilots include outreach to hard-

    to-reach populations for Low-Income Subsidies,

    collaborative senior transportation solutions and

    fitness programs.

    ▶ Livable Communities—n4a is instrumental in the

    development of a number of initiatives to coordinate

    access to services and supports to communities

    and local agencies taking action to make theircommunities livable for all ages. A sample of

    resources and technical assistance include: Maturing

    of America (MetLife Foundation), a national survey of

    city and county governments to assess their aging

    readiness, including a benchmarking survey to assess

    progress after five years; a Blueprint for Action:

    Developing a Livable Community for All Ages (MetLife

    Foundation), a resource guide for local leaders; and

    the development of Learning Collaboratives to assist
