History: The Network's Task Force on Women and Aging was formed in February 2001 to fill the gap left by aging groups that have not always recognized the unique needs of older women and traditional women's organizations which have not always recognized the needs of older women. Members of the Task Force include experienced professional advocates and community advocates, attorneys, academics, providers of elder services, and older women consumers. Mission: Through research, communication, education, and advocacy, the Task Force works to ensure that older women have access to programs and services that are appropriate to their needs and affordable, and which will enable them to live with dignity and safety. Issues: Each year the Task Force identifies issues on which to focus our work. We recognize the urgency of a number of national issues that have certain unique impacts on older women, among them proposals to "reform" Medicare and Medicaid and to privatize some or all of Social Security. We will continue to monitor such proposals. Current focus: The Wisconsin Elder Economic Security Initiative is the priority project of the Task Force. 2004 Mother's Day Message 2004 Update - March 2004 2003 Update - May 2003 |
