Presentations
Each year, the National Alliance for Caregiving hosts a National Conference for Caregiving Coalitions at the annual conference of the American Society of Aging (ASA) and the National Council on Aging (NCOA).
The overall goal of the National Conference for Caregiving Coalitions is to cultivate a strong foundation of support for family caregivers throughout the United States. This conference allows the Alliance to support established, effective, and sustainable caregiving coalitions and identify coalitions that exist but are not linked to the Alliance network. Through this annual conference and technical support throughout the year the Alliance has been able to establish a database of 75 state and local caregiving coalitions. The Alliance has also been able to establish an advisory panel of coalition experts that make up our Advocacy Task Force.
