Area Agency on Aging Network Legal Training 2003

Sponsored By: P4A

Although it was still cold and some snow still lurked on the ground in early March, Attorney Kathy Kron headed out to start a series of legal training sessions across Pennsylvania .  Each week Attorney Kron visits a group of AAA caseworkers in places like Valley Forge , Wilkes-Barre , Clarion and even Pittsburgh , to give these workers the tools to help make their jobs a little easier. Attorney Kron takes one session to teach AAA staff how to obtain information from banks, insurance companies and other corporations.  On the second day, the session is devoted to teaching them legal tools and then showing them how to implement these tools through a series of hypothetical scenarios.

Marshall & Associates did the same legal training last year and are looking forward to teaching a whole new group of caseworkers in next year's sessions!
