The Clark County Commission on Aging is focusing the remainder of the year on community engagement for people 60 and older. In October, the commission will host the final part of a three-part speaker series that will explore ways to support individuals, businesses and community groups understand best practices for engaging with older adults and foster community-wide awareness of available aging resources.

The Oct. 18, 2023, meeting will include a discussion with Laura Poskin with the Age Friendly Greater Pittsburgh regarding community resources and educational tactics used by the organization. The session will include a review of priority community engagement strategies.

Commission on Aging meetings are at 4:30 pm on the third Wednesday of each month. Meetings are currently held in a hybrid format with both in-person and virtual participation options. Attend in the sixth-floor Hearing Room of the Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St., or join by phone or computer through information provided at: https://clark.wa.gov/community-planning/commission-aging-meetings.

The Commission on Aging, supported by the Clark County Council, is a nine-member volunteer group that implements the Aging Readiness Plan and provides leadership addressing needs of aging community members. For more about the commission, please visit www.clark.wa.gov/aging.
