Help Us Plan

Join the Board of Visitors of the IOG. This board brings together leaders from the public and private sectors to advance research into aging issues and across the lifespan. The BOV meets quarterly to discuss current issues and help with fundraising and awareness. 

The Elder Advisors to Research (EAR) is an innovative, active group of seniors that plan the Art of Aging Successfully conference each spring. For more information contact Donna MacDonald at 313-664-2605 or donnamacdonald@wayne.edu.
