The most important feature of the newsletter is the case study which appears in each issue.
These case studies are developed based on current issues and concerns affecting older adults.
The newsletter also provides editorials from each of the directors of the collaborating
organizations; profiles of professionals, organizations, or businesses in the field of aging; articles on topics of interest
(for example, guardianship, educational programs, legislative issues, available resources, etc.); updates on activities and
organizations in or related to the field of aging; notices of meetings and conferences; and more. The newsletter welcomes
input and submissions from its readers.
