Lobby Day 2025: April 9
A United, Amplified Voice for Aging Services.

LeadingAge members make a difference on Capitol Hill. Your voice is the trusted voice. Your experience and leadership matter—and now more than ever, elected officials need to hear from you.
You don’t need to be a lobbyist or policy wonk to be an advocacy champion. Your on-the-ground expertise is your most valuable asset. Together, we can amplify our voice to raise awareness about the most critical issues impacting aging services providers, their employees, and the older adults and families they serve.
Join us at Leadership Summit to be part of a movement to advance key workforce recruitment and retention initiatives, increase funding for affordable housing programs, reduce the regulatory burden on nursing home providers, and bolster efforts to improve access to housing, care, and services for older adults.
Policy Focused Sessions
Many important policy issues are being affected by decisions unfolding in realtime from DC. Aging services leaders need to be dialed-in on what to expect as the legislative session ramps up and how key decisions will affect our sector.
