Amy M. York
Executive Director
Amy collaborates with member organizations and volunteer leadership to direct the policy and communication efforts of the Alliance. She looks for practical solutions to expand the eldercare workforce. “As the daughter of early baby boomers, I feel a sense of responsibility to ensure there is a well-trained workforce to care for our nation’s parents and grandparents as they age.”
York joined the Alliance from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, where she advocated on a wide range of issues, including Medicaid, Medicare, caregiving, the Older Americans Act, and other issues surrounding aging. Prior to joining the Federation, York served in legislative and political capacities for two national labor unions. Throughout her professional career, she has demonstrated an ability to develop robust working relationships with federal policy makers and a strong understanding of how to advance a policy agenda through the legislative and regulatory process. She serves on the boards of the Collaborative Action Team training for Community Health – Older Adult Network (CATCH-ON) and the UCSF Health Workforce Research Center on Long-Term Care (UCSF HWRC).
