AJAS National Office Relocates September 1

After almost nine years in our current location within the LeadingAge building in Washington, D.C., the AJAS national office will be relocating to a newly acquired building on the campus of the Charles E. Smith Life Communities in Rockville, Maryland.

LeadingAge and are confident that will continue moving forward.

Please note the new address below; the phone number remains the same.
