257 Darcy Evon: Building a More Age-Inclusive Society

Since becoming CEO of The Village Chicago in 2019, Darcy has

overseen the growth and vitality of The Village—including over

500 comprehensive programs that focus on social, emotional, and

physical well-being. She promotes improved quality of life for

older adults and intergenerational collaboration at work, at home,

and in the community. Darcy and colleagues delve into the root

causes of ageism and age bias, including internal and external

ageism. She advocates that age must be included in diversity,

equity, and inclusion policies and practices. Darcy is committed to

joining hands and voices to empower individuals and enrich

communities.
