This year’s MGA Forum on Aging was a springboard for MGA’s focus on connecting a broad range of disciplines to opportunities in the field of aging. When we speak across areas of expertise, institutions, and organizations traditionally outside of the aging network, we create new pathways to improve life for older people. We aim to show how bringing together unusual suspects is a necessary step in expanding outreach and engaging professionals to work in aging.
