Assistant Secretary Greenlee will discuss the challenges and opportunities of aging in the United States, and the efforts of this Administration to support the health and care of older Americans in the community.
This series serves as a primary forum for government delegates, NGOs, foundations, and academics to exchange dialogue on how to develop and promote policies beneficial to older persons and society as a whole.
