The VGCOA 2025 aims to honor the resilience of older adults in Virginia while promoting innovative solutions to improve their lives. The program encouraged discussion, engagement, and creativity in aging services, emphasizing inclusivity and progress nationwide.
We were also proud to have Erin Staker from MCOA share her research titled “The Invisible Arlingtonians: Examining Community Discrepancies Using the ACSM American Fitness Index.” Erin expressed that presenting at the conference was a great honor and highlighted the meaningful conversations she had with advocates who are advancing aging policy, research, and practice.
