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.
