Teresa Sansone Ferguson, Executive Director of AustinUP| "The Future of Aging in Austin"

The Future of Aging in Austin

Teresa Sansone Ferguson will review the Age-friendly Austin Action Plan recently adopted by the Austin City Council, the community collaboration behind it, and what it means for older adults in Austin -- both now and in the future.

AustinUP (http://www.austinup.org) was formed as a result of the Mayor's Task Force on Aging. The Austin area has the nation’s fastest-growing population of people between 55 and 64 and the second fastest-growing population of people 65 and over.

AustinUP works with local and regional business and civic leaders, non-profit service organizations, boomers, seniors and caregivers on issues related to the future of aging in Austin.
