Bio

Janine Vanderburg leads Changing the Narrative in Colorado, a campaign to change the way people think, talk and act about aging, older people and ageism. She is a co-founder of the Colorado Encore Network, a member of the Encore.org Network Leadership Team and is CEO of Encore Roadmap, which provides inspiration and tools for capitalizing on the strengths and talents of older adults. She is a former member of the Denver Commission on Aging, and received the Mayor’s Diversity and Inclusion award in 2018 for her advocacy on behalf of older adults.

A certified FrameWorks Institute Master Trainer for Reframing Aging, in the last year and a half, Janine has facilitated nearly 100 workshops and presentations reaching over 3,000 people. Presentation topics include:
  • Reframing Aging
  • The Business Case for Age-Friendly and Intergenerational Workplaces
  • Ending Ageism Together
She developed Changing the Narrative's REAL (Realistic Examples of Aging in Life) Photo Contest, resulting in images of older people at work, starting businesses and involved in social causes that are now available to download for free.

Her current project is on the same pAGE, convening 100 conversations about ageism within 10 days.
