The 19th Annual NYC Elder Justice Conference, presented by JASA (Jewish Association for Services for the Aged)

As our society faces increasing challenges in safeguarding older adults, this year’s virtual Elder Justice Conference will center on the power of collaboration. We invite professionals across disciplines to come together in a shared commitment to building a stronger, more connected elder justice community.

Now more than ever, cross-sector partnerships are essential to ensuring that older adults—especially those affected by abuse, neglect, and exploitation—are safe, respected, and supported. In the face of ongoing challenges to programs, policies, and funding, frontline providers and organizations are being asked to do more with less. 

This conference will address these realities head-on, providing attendees with actionable tools, innovative solutions, and the opportunity to connect with peers who share a passion for justice.

Highlights include a compelling keynote from a nationally recognized elder justice leader, skill-building workshops, and interactive sessions designed to inspire, inform, and ignite change. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or new to the field, you'll leave equipped and energized to advance elder justice in your community.
Join us as we elevate the cause, strengthen our collective impact, and reaffirm that elder safety and justice is not the work of one—it’s a shared responsibility.

Keynote Speaker: M.T. Connolly is a leading national expert on elder justice, a MacArthur “genius” grant awardee, and author of the 2023 book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life.
