Executive Director Jessica Bacher Appointed to Stakeholder Advisory Committee for New York State’s Master Plan for Aging
Jessica Bacher, Executive Director of the Land Use Law Center at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, was one of 28 members named to the Stakeholder Advisory Committee for New York State’s Master Plan for Aging. Governor Kathy Hochul announced the stakeholder committee in December, which will be tasked with advising the Master Plan for Aging Council – the group responsible for developing the state's first-ever Master Plan for Aging, a guiding document to help ensure older New Yorkers can live healthy, fulfilling lives while aging with dignity and independence.
The Stakeholder Advisory Committee will provide expertise on age-friendly policies, supports and health services to guide the Master Plan for Aging Council as it develops a comprehensive roadmap for meeting the socioeconomic needs of all generations of New Yorkers as they age. Ms. Bacher will provide a valuable role sharing her perspective in land use and local government to support a more holistic Master Plan that takes into consideration topics like Smart Growth, affordable housing, open space and transportation.
