LeadingAge LIVING UP TO ITS NEW NAME.

LeadingAge LIVING UP TO ITS NEW NAME. Members of the national aging services organization LeadingAge continue to demonstrate the power of community as they support one another in the wake in Hurricane Irene. Donations of staff, resources and other aid between organizations in at least 10 states along the East Coast helped coordinate responses to evacuations, resident transfers, community status hotlines and other challenges.

LeadingAge continues to document the numerous stories of social accountability amongst its community of nonprofit members; and serve as a national resource clearinghouse. (http://www.leadingage.org/hurricane.aspx)

The immediacy and selflessness of members' responses is a testament to the inspiration and leadership of LeadingAge (which recently rebranded itself from the less inspiring name, American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging.)
