Speaker

Margaret McDonald is a pro-aging advocate, an international speaker, and an award-winning writer. She’s the author of “100 Words on Everyday Ageism,” an online series of tiny essays that spread awareness about aging and misconceptions, every day. She’s also a member of the American Society on Aging’s advisory council on Ageism and Culture, where she helped develop and launch the annual Ageism Awareness Day. Margaret’s work focuses on how cultural beliefs about age affect us all, and how we can improve our lives, our happiness, our productivity—even our longevity—by understanding and internalizing more accurate views about growing older.
