The NORC Blueprint Project Team

The NORC Blueprint Project is led by Fredda Vladeck, director of the Fund's Aging in Place Initiative. Ms. Vladeck was the founding director of the nation's first comprehensive NORC supportive service program and worked with others to translate and replicate this innovative model at the city and state levels. While based in Washington, DC, from 1993 to 1998, she served as advisor on aging and health policy to the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, as a consultant for health policy to the National Council of Senior Citizens, and as a White House delegate to the 1995 White House Conference on Aging. She is the author of the Fund's publication A Good Place to Grow Old: New York's Model for NORC-SSPs.

Anya Nawrocky is the senior program manager of the NORC Blueprint Project. She has extensive experience in project management, including project planning, operations, financial management, and evaluation. She has also served as the Fund's grants manager. Prior to joining the Fund in August 2003, Ms. Nawrocky worked at the American International Health Alliance, a Washington-based organization working to advance and improve global health. She received a master of public administration degree in public and non-profit management and policy from New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.
