Meet Maureen Feldman

Founding Chair of the Los Angeles Social Isolation and Loneliness Impact Coalition

​

Maureen Feldman is a nationally recognized consultant, educator, and advocate specializing in
social connection, positive aging, and family caregiver support. With over 20 years’ experience,
Maureen has led intergenerational initiatives—such as UCLA-based programs that match college
students with older adults to build meaningful, cross-generational relationships and the Daily
Call Sheet, a volunteer social call program. She also teaches older adults through the Encore
program at the Los Angeles Community College District, empowering older adult students with
digital literacy, wellness strategies, and connection-building skills.

She serves as the Founding Chair of the Los Angeles Social Isolation and Loneliness Impact
Coalition and was previously Director of the Social Isolation Impact Project at the Motion
Picture & Television Fund. Through that work, she convened the first summit on social isolation
and loneliness in 2017 and helped launch numerous programs supporting older adults and family
caregivers, particularly around resilience and emotional well-being.

In 2024, Maureen participated in a Japan–U.S. learning exchange exploring how to design for
belonging through community-centered, intergenerational approaches. She continues to advise
institutions in aging, education, and public health on creating sustainable models that nurture
connection, purpose, and mutual understanding.
