On appointment to Leading Age NY:

“I am looking forward to serving on the board of LeadingAge New York.  Protecting  access to continuing care and helping shape public policy around the future of aging services is more important than ever.  As our population ages and public resources remain strained, we will need to embrace change and partner with policy makers, regulators, clients and our communities to ensure our services are available to those who need them.
