We are deeply grateful to The California Wellness Foundation for its belief in and support of this project, and to Dean Stephen Shortell, Kevin Williams, Linda Neuhauser, Claire Murphy and others at the School of Public Health for their many contributions.

The American Society on Aging, and particularly Research Manager Chaya Gordon, also provided generous in-kind support for the project. We also gratefully acknowledge the members of our project advisory board and our wonderful workshop presenters and speakers–Arnold Perkins, Lori Dorfman, Sonja Herbert and Frank Staggers Jr. MD.– for giving generously of their time and their talents.

Many thanks also go to Dr. Diane Driver for her numerous contributions throughout, including the creation of this web site! Seven School of Public Health graduate students continue to play an integral role as this project unfolds and also deserve our very sincere appreciation, as do seven "peer mentors" from Class I & Class II who are playing a key linking role in the project over time. Also, we‚d like to thank Caricia Catalani and Anthony Veneziale for their production currently underway of a participatory video documenting the California Senior Leaders Program. For more information about the Video-Voice Collective and the video of the California Senior Leaders, go to: http://video-voice.org/

Finally, and in keeping wth the intergenerational nature of this effort, undergraduate student Angela Ni has been a wonderful source of help on many aspects of the project.
