Thank you Jim for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?
Jim Bergman: One of the most succinct descriptions of me is that I'm
a lawyer by training and an advocate by instinct. I've spent over 35
years in the field of aging, much of that devoted to legal and policy
issues concerning older Americans. In 1992, I made a rather significant
career change when I accepted the position as the first Executive
Director of STAT (Stop Teenage Addiction to Tobacco), a national
advocacy organization based in Springfield, Massachusetts.
