Building on NCOA’s 75 years of service and advocacy for older adults, Alwin is renewing the organization’s commitment to improving the lives of millions, especially those who are struggling. She is sparking critical conversations about the resources every American deserves to age well—and what needs to change to ensure all have access to them. 

As CEO, Alwin has focused NCOA on improving the lives of nearly 30 million older adults, with the goal of reaching 40 million by 2030. This impact includes helping people reduce their expenses or increase their incomes, complete programs proven to improve their health, and benefit from policy changes driven by NCOA. 

Alwin has testified before Congress on the Older Americans Act reauthorization and on supporting older workers and has been interviewed by top media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, MarketWatch, USA Today, and CNN.com.

Under her leadership, NCOA is working to ensure that every older adult has the opportunity to age well. 

A seasoned thought leader and policy advocate, Alwin has changed the way people think about older adult poverty and economic security. She speaks in support of legislation that broadens access to benefits, ensures quality health care, and enables older adults to achieve financial stability through work and retirement savings.
