In Part I, Dr. Leanne Clark-Shirley of the American Society on Aging (ASA) outlined the broad vision for aging in America. ASA has been a steady voice in the national conversation on aging since 1954. Today, under Dr. Clark-Shirley’s leadership as President and CEO, the organization is shaping what many call the “North Star” for practitioners in the field. With more than 4,000 members spanning health, housing, caregiving, technology, academia, philanthropy, and government, ASA convenes and is committed to reimagining how America grows older. 

Here in Part II, we focus on how retirees, families, and communities can begin to take action.
