Membership Information & Benefits

Convened in 1988, the Southwestern Pennsylvania Partnership for Aging (SWPPA) is a volunteer-led organization with a mission to serve as a catalyst to promote policy, program, and systems change that improves the quality of life of older adults. SWPPA was created as a neutral forum for collaboration, information sharing, discussion and formulation of aging policy recommendations. SWPPA offers both individual and organizational/business memberships. Members include organizations and businesses, as well as individual members such as civic leaders, business owners, medical professionals, scholars, professionals in aging services, students, and residents of all ages.
