Letter from the ESCOTA Board Chair
June 2009Dear ESCOTA Members and Friends:
The East Side Council on the Aging presents its updated directory at a time of ever-greater—and more complex—challenges. A concerned, committed executive board helped move ESCOTA’s mission forward in 2008–2009, and both attendance and membership increased.
As an organization of professionals in the field of aging, we continue to seek to expand the knowledge base required to provide optimal service, to enhance opportunities for working together as colleagues and advocates for the needs of the elders we serve, and to be innovative in our approach to preserving the independence and dignity of older people on Manhattan’s East Side and beyond. The topics presented at our monthly general meetings give us the chance to learn best practices from experts in the field, to explore new options for service delivery, and to hone our skills to better serve the growing aging community.
In the 2008–2009 program year, our educational seminars included: Creating Cultural Connections; A Medicare Update; Maximizing Retirement Income; Bed Bugs; Medicaid Planning; Changing Addictive Behaviors in Older Adults; Intelligent Health Choices for Seniors; and two panel discussions—one on Budget Cuts and their Ramifications, another on the Department for the Aging’s Case Management Program: the First Year. Our meetings were generously hosted by organizations that included the 92nd Street Y; The 80th Street Residence; New York Life; DOROT; The Carter Burden Luncheon Club; Service Program for Older People; Stanley M. Isaacs Senior Center; and the Hunter College School of Social Work.
Our work together creates a wider safety net than we could provide individually. With creativity and insight, we can refine the models we use to address the needs of more seniors as the economy contracts. We hope that our directory will be a tool in the creation and maintenance of an age-friendly New York City.
Sincerely,
Reeva Mager, LMSW
Chair, 2009–2010
