Aging Action Initiative 3rd Convening

The Aging Action Initiative was launched by the County Board of Supervisors in the fall of 2014 to better address the needs of Marin's rapidly aging population by promoting a county-wide age-friendly environment, especially for those in need, collectively created by a strong network of service providers and funders through public education, policy advocacy, and service coordination. As the name implies, the focus of the initiative is on action. The unique implementation strategy, however, is all about coordinated and collective effort and strengthening inter-agency relationships.

A Steering Committee guides the overall direction of the initiative while each of the four work groups oversee the implementation of action items, delegating the tactical work of the projects to smaller task force subcommittees.

* Information, Assistance & Resource Referral
* Mental Health & Dementia
* Food & Nutrition, and
* Economic Security

The Initiative operates as a cross-sector collective effort of more than 65 different agencies, grassroots organizations, commissions and neighborhood groups, funded by the County of Marin, and coordinated by MarinSpace.
