How will your agency benefit from membership in N4A?

N4A is its members' eyes, ears and voice in Washington

N4A continuously tracks legislation affecting Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Title VI - Native American aging programs. More than that, through its presence at every key meeting in Washington where legislation on aging issues is being drafted, N4A keeps the interests of AAAs and Title VI agencies at the forefront. Members have a voice in developing N4A positions on public policy that matters to them.
N4A constantly scans what is going on in Washington and provides its members with clear, up-to-date information on the critical issues that affect them.
Through its comprehensive grassroots structure, N4A is well-positioned to alert its members when action is needed on legislative initiatives that have an impact on their ability to provide critical home and community-based services to the older adults they serve.
N4A staff has daily working relationships with key staff in the White House, Congress, the Administration on Aging and the Health Care Financing Administration.

N4A provides timely and useful information

Members stay well-informed about activities on Capitol Hill that affect AAAs and Title VI agencies and the older adults in their community through N4A's highly regarded Legislative Updates, which are available to members only. N4A's Advocacy Alerts let members and others know when their help is needed in garnering Congressional support on critical issues. N4A's "talking points" on its yearly legislative priorities elucidate N4A's positions on key issues and assist members when making contact with their Congressional representatives and Capitol Hill staff.
N4A's newest members-only publication, In step with N4A, provides AAAs and Title VI agencies with news they can use - government programs that help the agencies and the older adults in their community, funding opportunities, free publications and those offered at reduced rates to N4A members, agency best practices, and so much more.
Access to the members' only portion of N4A's website which features useful "inside" information that helps agency staff do their job as advocates on behalf of older Americans. Job opportunities, members' email addresses and more are also featured.
