Gathering of Advisory Council and State
Council on Aging Members
Posted: 11/1/2006
| AAA Advisory Council members from across Washington State
met with State Council on Aging representatives at a joint gathering on October
26th in Seattle. Over seventy aging advocates from all over Washington State
gathered to discuss current legislative issues, share tips on developing area
plans, and strategize to galvanize state and local leadership for an aging
summit. |

The views from the 40th floor of the Seattle Municipal Tower were spectacular,
and the energy and enthusiasm of participants was high.
Members greeted old friends and made new ones among their AAA counterparts from
other parts of the state. After a lunch that included fresh apples donated by
Aging & Adult Care of Central Washington, attendees rolled up their sleeves and
participated in one of three different working sessions.
The gathering was a reminder of the progress that can be made in coming together
as an effective statewide force. Stay tuned for materials generated during the
working sessions, such as "Advocating Effectively and Quickly" - a two minute
elevator pitch for each of W4A's 2007 Legislative Agenda items.
