ACL Seeks Public Input on Elder Justice Issues in Rural Communities: Feedback Welcomed Online and In Person

ACL wants to hear your thoughts and ideas for the future activities of the Elder Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC), particularly in how the EJCC can best address the unique elder justice concerns in rural areas. The EJCC coordinates activities related to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation across the federal government. We want to know what issues you think the EJCC should prioritize over the next two years.

You can submit comments electronically to xxxxxx@acl.hhs.gov with “Thoughts and Ideas” in the subject line through December 31, 2019. Visit the EJCC Public Input webpage for more information.

You can also give your comments in person to EJCC representatives, including Assistant Secretary for Aging and ACL Administrator Lance Robertson, at the upcoming EJCC Listening Session.

Listening Session Details:

When: Thursday, September 19, 2019, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Where: Winchester Hall 1st Fl Hearing Rm, 12 East Church St, Frederick, MD 21701

RSVP: Email xxxxxx@acl.hhs.gov with “Listening Session RSVP” in the subject line by Wednesday, September 18, 2019, to indicate your intention to attend. There will be a sign-up sheet at the event for those who wish to give remarks that last no longer than 5 minutes.

What we are looking for:

Comments, thoughts, and ideas about any aspect of the Elder Justice Coordinating Council. Examples of questions to address include:

How have the EJCC’s past activities benefitted you or your affiliated programs?

How could the EJCC benefit the larger elder justice community?
What is the best way to measure the EJCC’s impact and effectiveness?
