Mr. Krooks was bestowed the organization's highest honor of becoming a NAELA Fellow. NAELA Fellows are attorneys who have distinguished themselves both by making exceptional contributions to meeting the needs of older Americans and by demonstrating a commitment to NAELA. Election as a Fellow signifies that peers recognize the lawyer as a model for others, and an exceptional lawyer and leader. Mr. Krooks is proud to be honored in the limited elite group of 76 attorneys who hold this title throughout the United States.
The NAELA conference focused on legislative advocacy and laws affecting the elderly. The key issues discussed were the Elder Justice Act, pooled trust changes and long-term care issues.
