Congratulations to the AGE Trainee Chapter leadership for planning and managing our first virtual event.  It was very successful with close to 1000 registrations. Thanks to all who participated.  Recordings of some of the events will be made available at a later date.  

Sadly, we find ourselves again reeling from acts of brutality against Black Americans. The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others are appalling and tear at the very fabric of our society, yet they are common. These horrors are not isolated incidents, but manifestations of the lingering systemic racism that continues to disadvantage Black and other underserved populations in our country.

The American Aging Association recognizes that, to accomplish its goal of extending healthy lifespan for all, racial disparities and the laws, regulations, and policies that maintain these disparities must be addressed and corrected so that they conform to what is right and just.

Together, we must educate, reflect, and act. In our continued diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, we pledge to also promote education regarding systemic racism, implicit bias, and anti-racism for AGE community members and across academic science. In addition, we will grow our efforts to better understand the factors that limit healthspan and lifespan among Black and other underserved populations. As one community, AGE will advocate for policies within science that elevate the value of mentorship, recruitment, and advancement of Black and other diverse scientists.

We find ourselves in times of incredible stress and challenge, but in the words of Martin Luther King Jr. “The time is always ripe to do right”.

The American Aging Association is committed to providing a harmonious conference environment based on mutual respect, dignity and support. All forms of harassment, including sexual, are completely unacceptable. These behaviors have no place in the American Aging Association, and do not represent who we are. It is our collective priority to prevent this abhorrent behavior and to support those affected. We ensure allegations of sexual harassment are responded to swiftly, appropriately, and confidentially.
