Hear directly from candidates running for office in Boston!
Ethos, as Boston’s first community-based nonprofit solely devoted to keeping elders at home, has always created opportunities to bring issues that are relevant to older adults to the forefront of debate among candidates for office and elected officials. As part of that mission, we will be holding a series of briefings and forums throughout October.
These events will provide each candidate and their staff with the opportunity to learn more about Ethos, how services for the elderly and disabled are funded and delivered, and key issues around aging and older adults in Boston and, to speak directly to senior voters.
