changes she brought (such as having our office prioritize the Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities) made us more visible at the local and state levels in a way it hadn't been before (BTW, the NYS office is very engaged there as well). It gave us a centralized focus. Along with the leadership tools she brought from her previous roles, she made a huge impact.
Michael will continue this incredible work at the state as well as the federal level, where we are actively fighting for older Californians. While bringing his own touch to the work.
