Subject: [ELDERBAR] FREE In-Person Training Opportunity for Elder Advocates and Service Organizations from National Experts
February 17, 2012
Dear Elder Advocates,
Would you like to receive a FREE in-person training created for your organization’s and clients’ needs from experts in the field of law and aging? The National Elder Rights Training Project provides training on a wide range of law and aging-related topics to elder advocates, service providers and legal services advocates nationwide. The initiative is funded by the Administration on Aging as part of the National Legal Resource Center. Experts from the National Consumer Law Center, National Senior Citizens Law Center, ABA Commission on Law and Aging, and other organizations are available to provide in-person, on-site training to your organization.
Your organization may be eligible to receive a free training on a wide range of topics, including elder abuse and exploitation, guardianship and less restrictive alternatives, Medicare/ Medicaid, nursing home law, Social Security, foreclosure defense, consumer frauds and scams, energy and utility issues, and effective health care advance planning. The Training Project will also work with your organization to craft a training that addresses the unique needs of your organization or elderly clients.
Any organization working with or on behalf of older adults is eligible to receive this free training. However when selecting an organization, the Training Project will give priority to states and organizations partnering with the Administration on Aging’s Model Approaches to Statewide Legal Assistance Systems projects, Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC) and Area Agency on Aging (AAA) staff involved in identifying and assisting older persons facing legal challenges to their independence and financial security.
If your organization is selected, the Training Project will cover training expenses and materials. The organization selected provides the training location and helps with the logistics of the training such as outreach and registration of participants.
We hope that you are able to take advantage of this opportunity and we encourage you to apply. To be considered for training please complete the brief application at http://www.nclc.org/conferences-training/national-elder-rights-training.html The application should take no more than fifteen minutes to complete.
Open enrollment for applications starts February 24, 2012 and will continue until training selections have been made.
We encourage you to fill out the application as soon as possible as there are a limited number of trainings we will do this year under this Training Project. We will fill the training slots on a first come, first serve basis for eligible organizations. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Odette Williamson & Jessica Hiemenz
