Overview

Mission

The California Senior Alliance is run by Pastor Dwight E. Williams and his wife, Phyllis Williams, a mental health specialist and educator. The mission of CSA is to promote a community where older adults' wisdom, experiences, and contributions are valued and celebrated. CSA intends to pursue this mission through compassionate advocacy and collaborative engagement in public policies through generous contributions from the public and corporate America. Because this venture is new, the time intended to be dedicated to its mission is assumed to be part-time until the mission and the message resonate publicly that full time action can be sustained.

What it reported doing in 2024

Donations from the public and corporations are used to advocate and engage with seniors in California.
