Purposeful Aging Liaisons from throughout the city will be gathering on Tuesday, January 31, 2017, in Public Works Chambers at 6:00 to meet representatives from the many departments that deliver services to LA’s Senior Citizens. In addition, Neighborhood Council leaders will present best practices on from the Purposeful Aging Liaisons that have already activated campaigns to engage their communities and to connect seniors with the services they need.

Many of the City of LA’s Departments are engaged in a citywide campaign to ensure that our seniors, the fastest growing demographic group in the city, are supported and this includes the Mayor’s Office, the Aging Department, the Office of the City Attorney, Recreation and Parks, Housing, Transportation, City Library, City Planning, and the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment.

Out great opportunity is to organize as Neighborhood Council Aging Liaisons and to ensure that all of our most vulnerable stakeholders get the support that they deserve and that they need.

This meeting is for the Neighborhood Council Aging Liaisons but is also open to the public. If your council has an Aging Liaison, please make sure that they attend this meeting. If your council does not have an Aging Liaison, please agendize and appoint one. The Liaison does not need to be a Board Member, just someone with a passion for supporting our seniors.

For more information on the Neighborhood Council Purposeful Aging Liaison Town Hall, email Stephen Box at Stephen.Box@LACity.org or call 213-978-1551.

As always, thanks for all you do to EmpowerLA!
