ASA - American Society on Aging

Understanding

2. Broaden your understanding of your job and the field.

ASA members come from every discipline and setting: adult education, religion, medicine, long-term care, business, nursing, social work and more. Through ASA's conferences and publications you'll gain an appreciation of the richness and diversity of this field and the vision you need to be a leader. You can delve deeply into the areas of greatest interest to you, or sample from a wide variety of topics.

I need to stay on top of all the developments in services affecting older adults and families. ASA provides me with up-to-date, easy-access information to the resources I need, whether it's a new innovative model of senior housing, the latest state programs supporting grandparents caring for grandchildren, or cutting-edge research on health promotion in older communities of color.
