At the 2019 M. Powell Lawton Conference hosted by Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, the 2019 Lawton Award was presented to Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha’s President & CEO Nilda Ruiz and Senior Vice President of Community & Economic Development Rose Gray. At this year’s event, three panels addressed demographic changes in the city’s older adult population; challenges to providing appropriate services for these new populations; and approaches to working directly with these older adults and their family members.

APM is honored to be recognized and participate at this year’s event. Visit the PCA website here for more information.
