Who We Are

What We Do

Members coordinate efforts to:

• assist in identifying unmet needs of the older population.
• provide an opportunity for information sharing.
• contact local, state, and federal agencies, as well as legislative bodies, on issues determined important by the group.
• educate government, neighborhoods, churches, and organizations so as to bring about effective action concerning senior issues.
