Guest Presenter : Julia Brown, MA Gerontology, Community Outreach & Engagement Manager, AGE+

Julia Brown, MA Gerontology, has been a Community Outreach and Engagement Manager since 2021 for AGE+, a 501(c)(3) non-profit championing a new vision for inclusive and equitable aging for all Oregonians, especially isolated and underserved older adults in rural areas. With a focus on Eastern and North Central Oregon, she also works statewide on initiatives such as emergency preparedness, digital literacy, and immunization outreach for older adults, as well as education around our shifting age demographics towards creating a blueprint for a multi-sector, comprehensive plan on aging for the state.

She has 30 years of professional experience in fields such as publishing, financial administration, and retail management. An early degree in creative writing, experience as a caregiver, and a passion for connection as a crucial antidote for illness drive her work today. She is an enthusiastic proponent of approaching the aging process with tools that address biological, psychological, and sociological aspects for overall well-being.

Julia is a member of the American Society on Aging and the Oregon Gerontological Association. She also volunteers for the Eastside Village, one of the ten Villages NW which are part of the nationwide Village Movement that supports older adults aging at home in their community.
