Beth Southorn films video to celebrate LeadingAge’s impacts on seniors

Last week our Executive Director Beth Southorn had an opportunity to work with LeadingAge to help develop an inspirational video for their upcoming Annual Meeting’s general sessions. She was one of five members to participate in filming individual videos to celebrate the positive impacts LeadingAge makes on so many seniors.

Beth worked with members of the LeadingAge team, including Sharon Sullivan, Meredith Chillemi and Amanda Marr, as well as Tina Hoffmann with the O’Keefe Communications.

“Filming in front of a camera can always be a bit nerve-racking, but seeing the smiling eyes of Tina as she prompted me with questions was particularly helpful and really helped calm my nerves. When I was asked what moves us at LifeSTEPS, my answer was simply our residents – everyday,” said Beth. “Thank you to the entire LeadingAge team for this exciting experience! Looking forward to sharing this inspirational video at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting and Expo this October in Denver.”

Our Executive Director Beth Southorn recently met with LifeSTEPS intensive case management staff and members of L.A. County Health Services in Los Angeles. The team reflected on the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic and expressed gratitude at being able to keep our most vulnerable residents educated, housed and healthy during the crisis. “At a time when the world was on lockdown, our teams remained on the front line. Despite the fear and uncertainly, our residents knew that we were still there for them and would not leave their sides,” said Beth.

Today LifeSTEPS Executive Director Beth Southorn presented Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian with LeadingAge California’s Legislator of the Year award.

Assemblymember Nazarian is a tireless advocate for older adults and aging services providers, and we thank him for his efforts to drive California towards being a more age-friendly state where older adults have access to vital services that will help them age with dignity.

Assemblymember Nazarian recently filed legislation cosponsored by LeadingAge and LifeSTEPS which supports low-income older adults by establishing a 5-year Healthier Home – Age in Place Affordable Housing Nursing Program in eight counties across the state.
