You’ve learned the evidence-based communication strategies from the Frameworks Institute and the National Center to Reframe Aging. Now, it’s time to see them in action.
Join us for the final webinar in our Reframing Aging series to hear how policy and advocacy leaders from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont are putting these insights to work. They’ll share real-world examples of how they use these resources and narratives to successfully shape policy, influence lawmakers, and advance age equity in their respective states.
This is your opportunity to gain a regional perspective on turning communication strategy into tangible policy wins. Learn how you can apply these same methods to strengthen your own advocacy efforts and create communities where everyone can thrive as they age.
Don’t miss the final session in the series!

Join us for this continued conversation as we come together to discuss the recent federal cuts to SNAP benefits for November. In our last talk, we covered a variety of topics from how folks are coming together to manage the stress of these benefit cuts, and ways in which we can think differently and move forward to be more prepared in the future. Even as benefits begin to go out, it feels as though this has prompted a larger conversation about food insecurity and reliance on federal funding.
This is a space for people across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont to share their concerns, experiences, and questions about how these changes may impact our communities. Please join us for this talk!
