AnnotationSince 1977, the US Joint Public Affairs Committee for Older Adults (JPAC) has been educating and encouraging older people to take an active role in the public policy decisions affecting their lives. In 1994, JPAC founded the Institute for Senior Action, an advocacy leadership training course. The 10-week course integrates critical ageing policy issues with practical grassroots applications for action. The Institute also serves as a vehicle for retirees and others to become more involved in social action. (RH).
