We believe that DC’s aging services organizations need a strong, convincing and unified voice. LeadingAge DC members work collectively and openly to share best practices to help improve the field. As mission-driven organizations, we are driven by quality and as such we share information to better inform the field. We want to impact the world to make it a better place for older adults and their family members - from very low income and beyond.
