"The Future of Elder Care in a Changing America" - Ai-jen Poo, 2014 MacArthur Fellow, Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), and author of "The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America" (2015) will talk about the challenge of elder care in an aging America and the social and policy changes needed to enable all people to age with dignity, independence, and choice.

Ai-jen Poo is an activist, organizer, and movement-builder for social change whose compelling vision of the value of home-based care work is transforming the landscape of working conditions and labor standards for millions of domestic workers - housekeepers, nannies, caregivers for the elderly or disabled - in the United States today who are excluded from most federal and state laws. Combining a deep understanding of the complex tangle of human relations around domestic work with keen strategic skills, Ai-jen Poo has created a vibrant worker-led movement and spearheaded successful legislative campaigns.

Since 2002, the IMPACT Speaker Series has brought highly successful business leaders from a variety of industries to campus to share their experiences and give advice to students and other entrepreneurs on topics ranging from "building a venture around intellectual capital" to "successful entrepreneurship in large organizations" and "socially responsible leadership."

This event is open to the community.
