Women's Institute For A Secure Retirement

Join WISER on June 19th in Washington, DC for a forum, New Perspectives: An Intergenerational Discussion on Retirement Solutions.

This forum features the iOme Challenge winning team of students who will discuss their essay in response to this year's Challenge question. The iOme [I OWE ME] Challenge encourages students to challenge status quo thinking about the current state of retirement and propose policy recommendations. 

A keynote speaker, panels of experts and congressional staff leaders will also discuss current issues and legislative proposals. Event registration is now open.

Older Americans Month is a time to recognize the key role older adults play in the vitality of our neighborhoods, networks, and lives.

The 2019 theme, Connect, Create, Contribute, encourages older adults and their communities to: Connect with friends, family, and services that support participation. Create by engaging in activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment. Contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others. Click here for more information and resources.
