E17: Longevity Around the Globe (We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For)

Jan Hively is a social entrepreneur who transforms how communities
view aging and lifelong work. She organizes networks that empower
older adults to identify and share their strengths as advocacy
leaders who help themselves, each other, and their communities. Jan
is an internationally known writer, speaker, teacher, community
organizer, and group facilitator. After a career in city planning
and administration, Jan Hively earned her PhD in 2001 at age 69.
Since then, Jan has co-founded several thriving networks that
support positive aging, the most current of which is the Pass It On
Network.

Moira Allan is the Paris-based Co-founder and International
Coordinator for the global Pass It On Network, a peer learning
network of positive aging advocates who meet virtually to explore,
document, and spread concepts, activities and resources that are
shaping a new way of talking and of being as we adapt to a longer
life span. Through the Pass It On Network, Moira is involved with
the UN’s Open-Ended Working Group on Aging, and is a member of the
UN’s Stakeholders Group on Aging. She is also involved with
Europe’s Task Force on Human Rights, along with French and African
associations on aging.
