These “conversations” will provide an opportunity for older Virginians and their families,  service providers and local business, as well as education and legislative leaders to address the needs of today’s aging population by sharing information.  The information gathered in these meetings will be used by the Council and the Department as part of the overall plan to identify, fund, coordinate and deliver future services and programs for older citizens and their families.  The meetings are open to anyone with concerns or comments and everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend and make their voices heard.

 

DATE:                        Monday, July 26, 2010

LOCATION:   Virginia Western Community College
