Librarians, directors, and staff are invited to help the Colorado Commission on Aging (CCOA) find meaningful ways of serving and connecting with older adults throughout the state. Your voice is crucial to fill in the gaps of their knowledge with your experience serving aging and older adults in your libraries.

The CCOA coordinates and contributes to guiding programs, services, projects, policies, procedures and resources in the area of aging. It also guides the implementation of the Lifelong Colorado Plan for Aging, the state’s strategic action plan on aging. These sessions will provide libraries across the state to connect and share with stakeholders in your local area as well as at the state level.
