The American Commission for the Elderly is the youngest of all the Commissions. The role played by the Mutual Association of Agents of Organizations for the Elderly (AMAOTE, by its Spanish acronym) in Argentina has been pivotal. It is an organization that has been elected to chair CADAM as to undertake actions to promote studies, training sessions, and projects across the Americas and the Caribbean concerning solutions for a fairer old age.
The Inter-American Conference on Social Security (CISS) is an international organization that was formally created in 1942. In its 79+ years of existence, it has worked on Social Security and Welfare in the Americas.
