LeadingAge History
A small group of nonprofit providers of aging services decided in 1961 to establish an association that would help them live out their shared mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality programs and services to the nation’s growing older population.
The Global Ageing Network
LeadingAge is the U.S. affiliate of the Global Ageing Network and the LeadingAge President & CEO, Katie Smith Sloan, is the Executive Director.
