Own Your Future - A foundation for our Long-Term Care recommendations

The Citizens League is participating in the Own Your Future Advisory Panel convened by Lt. Gov. Yvonne Prettner Solon along with a broad cross-section of 26 other stakeholders who are engaged in the delivery and policy around long-term care planning. The Minnesota Own Your Future campaign will be planned and implemented over the next 12 months.

The objectives of the campaign are to:

  • Raise awareness among Minnesotans of the importance of planning now so they will have personal and financial options to meet future long-term care needs.
  • Increase the number of Minnesotans who have taken action to address and provide for their future long-term care.
The advisory panel will meet quarterly over the next 12 months and members will also participate in working groups to meet the following overall charge:

  • Provide oversight and direction for the implementation of Minnesota’s Own Your Future campaign
  • Assist with development and review of campaign materials for use by employers, grassroots organizations and stakeholder organizations
  • Act as a liaison between the Own Your Future campaign and employers, grassroots and stakeholder organizations.
Several members of the advisory panel took part in the work of the Citizens League Long-Term Care Collaborative which issued a report in December 2010 entitled Moving Beyond Medicaid.

Public awareness such as what is envisioned in Own Your Future is an important foundation for further recommendations proposed by the Citizens League.
