Our 30th annual Aging Policy Briefing was a huge success—building momentum at a critical moment for the Aging Network. The largest group of advocates ever joined us in Washington to meet with members of Congress and hear from key leaders. Some highlights:
 

• ACL's Alison Barkoff on the President's FY 2025 budget just released this week.
• CMS's Meena Seshamani on the importance of addressing the social needs of Medicare beneficiaries.
• Key Hill staff members on what to know about OAA reauthorization.
• Other pressing issues covered—Medicaid HCBS, housing and homelessness, caregiving and social engagement.
• Aging and Disability Business Institute deep dive on navigating social care payment landscape.
• Instagram highlights!

 
Attendees also gathered for a festive Capitol Hill reception sponsored by Amazon, where we announced a new partnership with Amazon Ring.
 
Thank you to all who made the trip to DC. We hope to see even more of you next year! (Dates coming soon.) In the meantime, it's full speed ahead on advocating for OAA reauthorization. Find USAging recommendations and advocacy toolkit here.
