AAA9 Communication Officer attends N4A Capitol Hill Policy Briefing 

Mrs. Carol Baker, Communications Officer from the Area Agency on Aging, 9, in Cambridge, recently attended the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging’s Capitol Hill Policy Briefing. Mrs. Baker attended the event at the Liaison Hotel in Washington DC on May 5th and 6th. 

Baker stated this was a very valuable experience, being able to connect with legislators to talk about the reauthorization of the Older American’s Act, which provides supportive services to older adults throughout the country. The OAA reauthorization is vital to the continuation of services that are needed to keep older adults in their own homes as long as possible. These services include; home delivered meals, congregate meals and transportation.
