Due to concerns with the COVID-19 virus, the CCGG Annual Meeting has been postponed. More information coming soon. If you have already registered or submitted an abstract we will be in touch in the next couple of weeks regarding options. 

As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, the California Council on Gerontology and Geriatrics is proud to announce our 2020 CCGG Annual Meeting: There’s No Place Like Home: Reimagining Aging in California. Please visit the 2020 conference page to learn more about this year’s annual meeting, register, and submit an abstract for a roundtable or poster presentation.

Professor Emeritus James E. “Jim” Birren, the founding dean of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and an aging research pioneer considered by many to be the father of modern gerontology, passed away on January 15, 2016 at the age of 97. As the co-founder of the California Council on Gerontology and Geriatrics, we are saddened by this news and appreciate his passion and support of the organization over the years.
