Joining the current 2007 class were 7 alumni of the California Senior Leaders Program —Dotty Fowler, Al Cross, Adelina Alva-Padilla, Essie Reed, Phebia Richardson, Chizu Iiyama, and Betty Perry —who participated as peer mentors at the 2-day training and recognition event. These alumni are each involved in healthy aging, community building and social justice work including: advocating for policies supportive of LGBT elders; preserving native cultures, land and health; building programs for low income seniors and families; community organizing; sharing with children and adults the lessons of the Japanese internment camps and other contemporary social injustices; and state and national policy advocacy to preserve and strengthen Social Security, Medicare, and other key programs for older Americans. The participation of these alumni senior leaders at the event adds a sense of continuity and helps build future connections between this new group of thirty California Senior Leaders and the sixty-five California Senior Leaders who participated in the program in 2002 and 2005.
