USAging CEO Sandy Markwood expressed support for the bill in Senator Gillibrand's press release: “USAging is pleased to support the Strategic Plan for Aging Act. If we are to build a society that values people as they age, we must as a nation plan to improve the ability of older adults to age well at home and in the community. The nation's Area Agencies on Aging and Title VI Native American Aging Programs have been preparing for our current unprecedented age wave for decades and play significant roles in aging planning in communities across the U.S. This legislation will expand and coordinate with these planning efforts to engage all sectors of society in planning and supporting our historic demographic shift.”
