Some people you'll meet:

Elizabeth WhiteElizabeth White

I am an author and advocate for older people, especially those who face uncertain work and financial jeopardy. My book, Fifty-five, Underemployed, and Faking Normal (published by Simon & Schuster), is for and about the millions of older Americans who, despite career choice and decent incomes, are facing the prospect of downward mobility in old age. My TEDx talk has drawn more than 1.7 million views; I am a three-time guest on PBS NewsHour. My essays have appeared in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Next Avenue and The Washington Post. I'm a member of the Courageus community.

Marc used to know everything and trust nothing. Now, Marc says he knows nothing and has glimpsed trust. For over 30 years Marc was a criminal defense attorney, then a mediator. Seven years ago, he began facilitating Conscious Aging Workshops and he hasn’t stopped. It has helped him melt the armor that he’d built up. Marc is a member of the Courageus community. 

 


Elizabeth WhiteWes Morrison

Wes is a passionate advocate on issues involving the 50+ community including housing, healthcare and financial security, especially when those issues involve his LGBTQ community. Before ‘being retired’, Wes worked at WRC TV as an assistant producer for 32 years. Wes is a member of the DC Dept of Aging and Community Living LGBTQ Advisory Board and is on the Citizens Advisory Board at Iona Senior Services. He is the recipient of the Andrus Award for Outstanding Volunteerism for AARP DC and is a member of the Courageus community.
