As a follow-up to the Elder Rights Summit and part of our efforts to implement the recommendations of the Governor's Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation Taskforce (2006) we are compiling a list of advocates and experts in the area of elder abuse/financial exploitation. This list will be used to respond to requests for speakers, educational events, conferences, testimony on legislation or other future efforts to prevent or combat elder abuse and financial exploitation. Please encourage state and national experts you know to register so we can easily contact them when opportunities arise.

If so, please help us by filling out this form.
