Member ProfilesJonette Arms, director, New Age of Aging, Alliance for Children and Families Welcome to Jonette Arms and the Alliance! Ms. Arms will be directing the activities of The New Age of Aging, a $2.6 million, five-year grant the Alliance received from The Atlantic Philanthropies to respond to the needs of the rapidly expanding population of older adults. The goal of the project is to create organizational and cultural change among social service organizations in order to influence the perception of and response to aging issues. The grant allows the Alliance and its members to develop models and prototypes of best practices the human services workforce can apply to address the challenges brought on by this demographic change.
