"2009 Policy Summit and Gubernatorial Candidate Forum"
The Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging Policy Summit held its fourth annual Policy Summit on December 8, 2009 at the University of Minnesota Education and Conference Center in St. Paul, MN. Since inception the Minnestoa Leadership Council on Aging has worked to elevate issues of aging and of long term services and supports. In 2009 the Policy Summit featured a forum for gubernatorial candidates to present their responses to key issues facing seniors and family caregivers.
