You are invited to attend the National Indian Council on Aging’s 23rd conference on aging in Indian Country. Our 2020 American Indian Elders Conference will be August 17-21, 2020 in Reno, Nevada at the Nugget Resort & Casino. NICOA will be partnering with the 2020 National Title VI Training & Technical Assistance Conference, held at the same time and place.
NICOA’s biennial conferences benefit our 300,000 elders as well as the entire American Indian and Alaska Native population from all 574 tribes. The conference consists of educational presentations from tribal, state and federal organizations as well as a diverse network of aging service partners that provide information and updates on aging services, health care, civic engagement and economic development in Indian Country.
The theme for NICOA’s 2020 conference is “Resilience for Tomorrow… Together.” Additionally, 2020 will be a major election year and NICOA’s conference will offer the opportunity to elevate issues in American Indian politics and legislation. The conference will also focus on issues such as health, safety, financial management, elder abuse, caregiving, employment, retirement, and the Older Americans Act.
If you’re interested in presenting at the conference, complete the proposal form and send in a brief description of your proposed presentation (no more than 150 words each) along with a brief biography (no more than 150 words) before the deadline of March 31, 2020.
