SENIOR AGENDA'S CONFERENCE WAS HERE!

 Our Thirteenth Annual Senior Conference & Expo was held on Wednesday, October 27, 2021 with a theme of Who Will Care for the Baby Boomers?  For those of you who weren't able to attend, and those who were, on the right is a link to the video of yesterday's Conference shot by a staff member of the RI legislature. 


Despite the weather, we had 150 persons and 21 Exhibitor tables in attendance. Jack Reinholt, our Board Chair, was the emcee. Board Member George Neubauer moderated a Forum with House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Dominick Ruggerio, and Board Treasurer Jeanne Gattegno led a panel discussion about building a better-paid and valued senior care workforce.  Our Keynoter, Senator Maryellen Goodwin's speech was particularly poignant.

    mission statement

    The Senior Agenda Coalition is an independent and diverse coalition of agency and individual members. Our mission is to mobilize people and implement an agenda that improves the quality of life of older Rhode Islanders. We accomplish this through community organizing, public education and legislative action.  

    In our opinion

    Rhode Island's older adults have suffered  disproportionately during these long months of the pandemic, and the Senior Agenda Coalition has spoken out forcefully about both the redistribution of Medicaid dollars and the retention of funding for community services that are so vital to their well being.  Read the two  Providence Journal op-ed articles below:
