2017 SHPF Keynote Speaker: Dr. E. Percil Stanford
Dr. Stanford will discuss the importance of creating inclusive communities and systems that support older adults, and why it’s important to “reframe” issues when discussing how the aging population is impacted.

His career in the field of Aging began at Iowa State University where he was the first of a small group to receive PhDs with a focus on Gerontology.

At AARP, Dr. Stanford held numerous leadership positions, such as the Senior Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer, West Region Director and Interim Director of the State Affairs Department. Dr. Stanford has authored several books and articles on a wide range of age-related topics, and served in leadership roles with the Gerontological Society of America, The National Center and Caucus on Black Aging, The American Society on Aging, and The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.
