Presented by the National Center for State and Tribal Elder Justice Coalitions

Sustainability planning is critical to the long-term success of any Elder Justice Coalition (EJC). This presentation introduces The STAR Framework: Sustainability Strategies for State and Tribal Elder Justice Coalitions, which approaches sustainability as an active process that helps coalitions remain Strategically Resilient, Trustworthy, Adaptable, and Responsive (STAR) over time. Drawing on examples and experiences from the field, this session will walk through each pillar of the STAR Framework and highlight practical strategies that can strengthen coalition sustainability. Participants will gain an overview of the framework and explore how its strategies and reflection questions can support coalition leaders and partners in strengthening their planning and preparing for future work. Participants will also learn how to connect with the National Center for State and Tribal Elder Justice Coalitions and access additional tools and resources to support their coalition’s work.
