Join the National Center to Reframe Aging and leading voices in the field for this special webinar highlighting how states are applying principles to reframe aging in their MPAs and community initiatives. State leaders implementing MPAs will share how strategies to reframe aging are making these plans stronger, more realistic, and more effective.
