SCV Senior Center Executive Director Kevin MacDonald gave a presentation at the National “Meals on Wheels” Annual Conference in North Carolina last month.

Throughout three days of learning sessions, keynote speakers and networking events, attendees were able to take back actionable insights to their programs, according to officials.

MacDonald’s presentation was called “Advocacy at the Local, State and Federal Levels of Government,” where he shared information on working with officials at all levels to better serve seniors in the local community.

His presentation to fellow experts in the field added to the proposed solutions for the impact of the ever-growing need for this service in Santa Clarita and nationwide, according to a statement.
