As we celebrate the upcoming International Day of Older Persons (October 1, 2009), we recognize Dr. Alexandre Sidorenko as one of the world’s leading authorities on population aging. Dr. Sidorenko is retiring from the UN and his position as the UN Focal Point on Ageing. He served as Coordinator for the International Year of Older Persons and has been a central figure in virtually every landmark aging agreement, including the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing and the UN Principles for Older Persons.
We take this opportunity to thank Dr. Sidorenko for leadership and friendship with the NGO Committee on Ageing.NY and the non-governmental community worldwide. Through his great leadership we recognize a world today where more and more persons can live in a society for ALL ages and where people can age with dignity and purpose.
