Immigration policy has become increasingly important to aging services providers, shaping both the immediate availability and the long-term sustainability of the caregiving workforce. This session will feature a panel presentation and an interactive exchange that explore immigration's key role in helping providers meet the service and support needs of older adults. Presenters will examine how immigration policy affects providers' ability to attract and retain essential caregiving talent. They'll also explore specific policies that could help address current and future workforce needs. You'll leave this session equipped with strategies to make your immigration-related advocacy as effective as possible.
