We invite you to attend a workshop focusing on the health and economic well-being of older women, with particular emphasis on race and socioeconomic differences. How do women fare under current policies? What will be the consequences for women of proposed Social Security and Medicare reforms? And how can we adapt these programs to better meet women's needs?
The workshop will cover both health and income security. Panelists will address both the state of current research as well as a range of policy issues. The sessions will be followed by a moderated discussion period and a wine-and-cheese reception.
Distinguished panelists include: Pamela Herd, PhD (University of Wisconsin); Jacqueline Angel, PhD (University of Texas, Austin); Molly Carnes (University of Wisconsin, Madison); Dorothy Dunlop, PhD (Northwestern University); Marilyn Moon (American Institutes for Research); Janet Wells (The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care); Eliza Pavalko, PhD (University of Minnesota); Michael Tanner (CATO Institute); Madonna Harrington Meyer, PhD (Syracuse University); Karen Holden (University of Wisconsin, Madison); Melissa Hardy, PhD (Penn State); Carroll Estes, PhD (University of California at San Francisco); Melissa Faverault (Urban Institute); Virginia Reno (National Academy for Social Insurance); Richard Johnson (Urban Institute); Stuart Butler, PhD (Heritage Foundation); and Charlene Harrington, PhD (University of California at San Francisco).
There is no charge for attending, but RSVP is requested to: Sarah Frey at sfrey@agingsociety.org or call (202) 587-2843.
A wine-and-cheese reception will follow.
