Kaldes will assume the role on September 11, 2023, and will lead efforts to help the nonprofit private foundation achieve its mission of improving and sustaining the quality of life for people in their second 50 years. Kaldes is a national leader in aging with experience as a nonprofit and philanthropic executive. Since March 2020, he has served as president and chief executive officer of the American Society on Aging, the nation's largest association of diverse professionals in the field of aging. Before joining ASA, Kaldes was president and chief executive officer of the South Florida Institute on Aging (SoFIA). Prior to that position, Kaldes was a senior executive at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and led the global bank’s philanthropic investments in economic development. Kaldes also has served in the White House as an economic policy advisor to President Barack Obama. "Colorado, like our nation, is aging," said Kaldes. "Some may see this as a problem, but NextFifty sees it as the opportunity that it truly is. I am looking forward to working with NextFifty’s Board of Trustees, staff, community partners, and national colleagues to lead and catalyze innovation in aging." At ASA, Kaldes successfully navigated the organization through an unprecedented pandemic, innovated its brand identity and programming, including launching ASA Rise, a social justice and leadership academy for rising leaders of color, and increased ASA's membership by 35 percent.

We are very pleased to have found a new leader of his caliber.” NextFifty Initiative was formed in 2016 through the sale of InnovAge, a non-profit PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) provider, to a private equity firm. With initial assets of over $200MM, the foundation was created as an independent nonprofit entity completely separate from InnovAge. The foundation remains focused on and committed to serving the older adult population through grantmaking and impact investing with goals of: improving the quality of life for older adults; making sure organizations serving older adults have the resources they need to succeed; identifying, supporting, and replicating new and innovative approaches to aging; and reducing ageism.

As WWII Survivors Dwindle, Their Stories Live On: Exhibition on Jewish Refugees in Shanghai to Open in NYC

SMG ShanghaiEye

SHANGHAI, CHINA - Media OutReach - 24 July 2023 - As part of a wave of new cultural projects that honor the legacy of the 20,000 Jewish refugees who escaped Nazi persecution during World War II and found a rare safe haven in Shanghai, the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum will hold a two-week exhibition in New York, starting from August 1st. Titled "Shanghai, Homeland Once Upon a Time – Jewish Refugees and Shanghai", the exhibit will represent the Museum's first overseas exhibition since its significant expansion in 2020. Jewish and Chinese leaders, descendants of refugees, and special performances will be invited to celebrate the exhibit's opening on August 1st. Showcasing more than 200 photographs and approximately 30 pieces of replica memorabilia from the museum's expanded collection, as well as personal stories from Jewish refugees and their descendants, the exhibit will be open to the public for free from August 1-14, 2023, 9am-8pm, at Fosun Plaza (28 Liberty Street) in downtown Manhattan. The content of the traveling exhibition is drawn from the Museum's newly expanded collection and is divided into six sections: Fleeing to Shanghai, Starting a New Life, Bittersweet Memories, After the War, Special Feelings for China, and A New Look of the Homeland. Each part will provide a historical background, narrates the experiences and stories of the Jewish refugees, and depicts the details of their lives and their enduring partnership with the Chinese people. Chen Jian, director of the museum, said that their focus has been particularly on hosting exhibitions in the United States because of the large Jewish population there. New York City is home to over two million Jewish people, many of whom are descendants of Jewish refugees who found shelter in Shanghai. Therefore, they felt obliged to bring these stories to New York and share it with the local Jewish community, as well as the Jewish refugees once lived in Shanghai and their descendants. The exhibit will be one of several cultural programs and collaborative initiatives in the coming months that seek to keep alive the unique stories of the Jewish refugees. For example, documentary "Jewish Melodies left in Shanghai" will have its premiere at Harmony Gold Preview House in Los Angeles on the evening of July 29, 2023. The documentary recalls the stories of Jewish performers and composers active in Shanghai from the 1920s to the 1940s. *If you want to download more video materials of this exhibit, you can go to the following link: https://apvideohub.ap.org/detail/AsWWIISurvivorsDwindleTheirStoriesLiveOnExhibitiononJewish/69cb42b837e140dd825ad27f56648df3/video?Query=filings.products:(47139)%20AND%20*&mediaType=video&sortBy=arrivaldatetime:desc&dateRange=Anytime&totalCount=45&currentItemNo=0 Contact Details Crystal Cai caichenyi@smg.cn

Embracing Train Travel in Europe This Summer

YourUpdateTV

This summer, Americans are flocking to Europe in record numbers and seeking out unforgettable travel experiences while there. But with inflation top of mind for many Americans, one of the easiest, most affordable and memorable ways to explore Europe is by rail. Recently, Lifestyle Expert Bethany Braun-Silva partnered with Trainline to discuss the top European destinations this year, travel tips, and the benefits of seeing Europe by train. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/n1B5FtEV8TE Europe is definitely a top destination for many travelers this summer, with demand even outpacing pre-pandemic levels. But prices for airfare have skyrocketed and many Americans find it difficult to drive in Europe – from navigating which side of the road to drive on to trying to read traffic signs in a different language. This has led many American travelers to look for easier and more affordable travel alternatives while abroad. Train travel has had a major boom in recent years and has become the go-to form of travel in Europe for Americans, with affordability, ease of travel and sustainability being the chief drivers – plus the views from the train are both breathtaking and unforgettable, while being a perfect option for families, solo travelers, business, or leisure trips. U.S. downloads for Trainline, the No. 1 train booking app in Europe, are up 108% this year, telling us travelers are eager to see Europe by train this summer. With Trainline, Americans can explore Europe from the palm of their hand – making it simple to book all your train travel needs. Plus, you can book your train travel through Trainline in English and pay in USD, so there is no need to worry about a language or currency barrier when traveling! Here are Bethany’s tips for navigating Europe by train this summer: Tip #1: Book in Advance - Train tickets in Europe are usually at their cheapest price when they first go on sale. Booking early will get you the best deal, or you can choose to get a ticket with the ultimate flexibility for those times when you might want to change your travel plans last minute. Tip #2: Travel Off-Peak – Most train tickets across Europe tend to be more expensive during morning and afternoon rush hour. If you can, be sure to look for tickets outside of these times to see if you can snap up a lower price. Tip #3: Don’t Skip Connecting Trains – While taking a connecting train might make some American travelers uncomfortable, don’t shy away from them. You may arrive at your destination a little later than high-speed or direct services, but for those with a little extra time on their hands it’s a great money-saver – and you get to see even more of Europe along the way!
