Speaker: Ryann Hill

The aging in place movement has a powerful story to tell in Washington DC and around state capitols, and Ryann Hill is here to show you how to tell it. In this session, she shares the advocacy strategies, federal  and state policy landscape, and coalition-building approaches that community leaders, providers, and advocates can use to make their voices heard where decisions get made. Real belonging requires real investment, and that starts with knowing how to work the policy process.
