Notes from the Road: Association for Senior Citizens

This morning I met with Tee Tanaka, associate ED at the Association for Senior Citizens (ASC). Tee has traveled all over the world as an international banker. He led trade missions to Asia for former Colorado governor Roy Romer. Today, Tee works on providing a variety of services to local senior citizens in need. ASC has a food bank serving over 200 people a week and they just purchased a facility for housing. It isn't sexy but it is an essential service for others at its very core. As our population ages, more and more seniors will need support for their basic living needs. Unfortunately, my experience has been that this can be a "forgotten" generation with little resource allocation. Liz Cahill, Executive Director, started the ASC 20 years ago and has often gone without pay for weeks at a time in order to keep the doors open...
