Sept. 10, 2026, Arlington, Virginia—The National Council on Aging (NCOA), the national voice for every person’s right to age well, today announced that Constance K. (Connie) Weaver has assumed the role of Chair of its Board of Directors, following her service as Chair-Elect and Treasurer.  

Weaver becomes Board Chair at a pivotal moment for NCOA and for aging in America. Having achieved its ambitious goal of improving the lives of 40 million older adults five years ahead of schedule, NCOA is embarking on its next bold chapter—creating 100 million happier, healthier birthdays by 2040. 

At the heart of that strategy is NCOA’s mission to create the conditions for all to age well—addressing the underlying factors that shape the quality of our lives as we age, including health, economic well-being, community connection, and safety. Through its national leadership and extensive network of partners, NCOA is working to create lasting, system-wide change. 

“NCOA has an extraordinary combination of mission, expertise, national reach, and a vast network of partners working every day in communities across America,” Weaver said. “We have demonstrated what is possible when we set bold goals and mobilize around them. Now we have an opportunity to build on that success by addressing the underlying conditions that determine how well people age. No organization or sector can do this alone. By bringing together nonprofit, public, private, health ;care, philanthropic, and community partners, we can create meaningful change at scale—and help millions more Americans live longer, healthier lives.” 

“Connie assumes the role of Board Chair at an important inflection point for NCOA,” said Ramsey Alwin, NCOA President and CEO. “We have achieved a major milestone—improving the lives of 40 million older adults five years ahead of schedule—and have set an even bolder course for the future: 100 million happier, healthier birthdays by 2040. Connie brings the strategic leadership, financial acumen, governance experience, and transformation expertise we need for this next chapter. She understands how to translate ambitious strategy into measurable results and how to build the partnerships necessary to achieve impact at scale.” 

Weaver is an experienced corporate and nonprofit board leader and former Fortune 100 C-suite executive whose career spans financial services, technology, telecommunications, media, and mission-driven organizations. She has led businesses and functions through periods of significant change, with experience encompassing enterprise strategy, finance, marketing and communications, digital transformation, stakeholder engagement, and organizational leadership. 

Most recently, Weaver served as Chief Marketing Officer of Equitable Holdings (NYSE: EQH), where she was a member of the senior leadership team and helped advance the company's business strategy, transformation, and market positioning. Previously, she held senior executive leadership positions at TIAA, AT&T, The Hartford, BearingPoint, Microsoft, MCI, and McGraw-Hill. 

Today, Weaver focuses her work on board leadership, strategic advisory roles, and mentoring emerging organizations. In addition to NCOA, she serves on the boards of Connecticut Public, Make-A-Wish America, the National Endowment for Financial Education, and Berto Acquisition Corp. I and II, and she is a member of the Advisory Board of Olos Impact LLC. 

Throughout her career, Weaver has been recognized for helping organizations navigate transformation, strengthen stakeholder engagement, build trusted brands, and translate strategy into measurable results. She is particularly passionate about advancing healthy aging, financial well-being, education, youth development, and strengthening the institutions and communities that enable people to thrive.
