Members, Supporters and Sustaining Partners recently attended an energetic Age Wave Leadership Meeting. Five presentations rotated around the room, sharing program updates and successes while soliciting feedback from stakeholders.
Presenters included:
Annie Rhodes: Master's of Gerontology 2017 graduate Annie Rhodes shared outcomes and future planning from her role as Age Wave City Council Scholar. She worked under Councilwoman Cynthia Newbille in Richmond's 7th District. Rhodes organized six community flu shot clinics, established partnerships with health and wellness organizations and helped create an inclusive legislative packet for the 2018 General Assembly. Goals for 2018 include established wellness clinics in each independent living community and to establish a No Wrong Door partner to participate in the initiative.
Interested in getting involved?
• Offer to sponsor an event in the 7th district (Blood Pressure Screenings/Birthday Party/Exercise Class)
• Attend the Senior Resource Fair on February 14, 2018
• Become a partner in the East End initiative
Sara Morris: Master's of Gerontology 2017 graduate Sara Morris shared her findings as Age Wave Transportation Liaison Scholar. Her transportation advocacy work included a community survey and outreach to transportation stakeholders and planners.
