Foundation Issues 2018-2019 Annual Report
It's now in print...a recap of the AMAC Foundation's work in service to
America's seniors over the past two years. Normally, of course,
organizations like ours would be expected to issue a formal Annual
Report each year, but our limited resources and the extended illness of
our Executive Director last year caused us to defer to a two-year
summary for this time around. The good news is that Foundation
activities continued at a rigorous pace during this period, as outlined
in the 2018-2019 report issued 1/31/2020.
The official 2018-2019 report can be viewed on the Foundation's website,
complete with an Executive Summary and attachments at
AmacFoundation.org/Resources . In
keeping with the Foundation's "open book" approach to doing business, we
welcome any question, thoughts, or suggestions you may have. Please take
a look at the report and give us your feedback via email
(
[email protected] ). We'd
appreciate hearing from you!

2020 "Sudden Death" Notebook Series Kicked Off in Mid-February
The 22nd edition of our highly-sought "Sudden Death: Are You Prepared"
notebook series program launched February 12 with a full complement of
attendees. The objective of this popular program is to help ensure that
survivors are prepared to deal with the aftermath of a loved one's
death, guiding attendees through the creation of a "Survivor Notebook"
to help loved ones cope after the death of a spouse or key family
member.
Conducted in three separate parts, the workshop walks participants
through identifying what needs to be considered, assembling the material
in an accessible format and developing an approach to maintaining the
material so that it remains current. The result is a physical roadmap
that will be of immeasurable value to survivors.
The workshop is delivered in two-hour sessions and is presented by a
consortium of representatives from local organizations. In addition to
our financial services partner (Raymond James & Associates), presenters
from Cornerstone Hospice and Palliative Care and representatives from
local legal services firms and funeral services firms address specific
topics during the workshop sessions. The schedule calls for the sessions
to be presented across a three-week period.
The next scheduled session for this 2020 workshop series is April 21,
April 28, and May 5, and additional sessions are planned for later in
the year. Keep an eye on the Foundation website's "Events" page
and contact the Foundation office
(888-750-2622) to register.

Who's Who in Social Security...Updating an Old Standard!
"Who's Who in Social Security" is a product of the AMAC Foundation,
related specifically to the Foundation's mission of providing education
and assistance on issues of critical importance to America's seniors and
to promote a better understanding of the issues involved in resolving
Social Security's long-term solvency predicament.
We anticipate increased emphasis on Social Security during this year's
Presidential Election Campaign, and have opted to update this handbook
as a resource for the general public, as well as officials, and their
staffs involved in Social Security administration, policy making, and
information dissemination.
"Who's Who in Social Security" identifies the key players involved in
this crucial program. The handbook also provides a generous helping of
background information on proposals under consideration, publications
available on the subject, and a hierarchy of the governmental officials
holding positions and assignments associated with Social Security. The
publication is being made available to key officials and their staffs,
as well as to many media outlets that regularly write about Social
Security issues.
When initially published, the late Dan Weber, AMAC Foundation President,
summed up its purpose with this statement, "The material contained in
this guide will serve to help point you to the people integral to the
creation of any form of solution, and will serve to bring you
up-to-speed on the many proposed resolutions currently in play on this
subject."
The handbook was first published in 2015 and will likely be updated
again when the 117th Congress commences in January 2021. Electronic
copies of the 2020 edition are available for download via the
Foundation's website or by contacting the
Foundation office at 1-888-750-2622. There's no charge for the download,
although contributions to the non-profit Foundation are encouraged.
