Roundtable for Boomers and Seniors

The Roundtable for Boomers & Seniors provides an opportunity for constituents to come together to explore life issues that are relevant across the age span. At each session, attendees hear from and engage with professionals who are knowledgeable on topics that are of most concern to the growing population of older adults in New York City. Over the course of five sessions, the Roundtable looks at a specific issue from different perspectives each month. This year’s series will focus on engagement.

The next roundtable session will take place on Thursday, May 3rd from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, 331 East 70th Street, and the topic will be the Civic Engagement. We are learning more about the importance of remaining engaged in the world, so we can live well as we age.  But do older adults have a moral obligation to remain civically engaged, to work to strengthen our communities, and to maintain our democracy?

Speakers include: 
Michael B. Friedman, MSW, Adjunct Associate Professor, Columbia University School of Social Work
Terry Kaelber, Director of Community Engagement Projects, United Neighborhood Houses 
Alice Fisher, Executive Director, The Radical Age Movement
