Topic: Successful Elder Abuse Coalitions Share Lessons Learned

Mary Lynn Kasunic, President & CEO of the Area Agency on Aging, Region One in Phoenix, Arizona, and Pamela B. Teaster, Ph.D., Professor and Director of the Graduate Center for Gerontology at the University of Kentucky, are board members of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA). Ms. Kasunic spearheaded NCPEA's NCEA-funded initiative to create local elder abuse prevention coalitions in communities all across the country. Ms. Kasunic and Dr. Teaster, along with three leaders of diverse coalitions developed through this project, will share lessons learned from the most successful local coalitions: what worked well and what approaches, coalition compositions, projects, and administrative structures hold the most promise for other communities attempting to create or to maintain collaborations addressing elder abuse.

Speakers:

Mary Lynn Kasunic, M.S., CPM, President & CEO, Area Agency on Aging, Region One, Phoenix, Arizona since 1990, is nationally recognized for her leadership in developing innovative elder rights programs.

Ms. Kasunic co-founded the Maricopa Elder Abuse Prevention Alliance in 1993, and has served on the board of directors of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA) for more than 10 years. Currently, as part of a multi-year project with NCPEA, she is training organizations across the country to develop effective local elder abuse prevention coalitions, funded by a grant from the Administration on Aging through the National Center on Elder Abuse.

Pamela B. Teaster, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Graduate Center for Gerontology, University of Kentucky, serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Applied Gerontology and the Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect, of which she is the former editor.
