CO-AGE

1. attend quarterly meetings (usually the second Thursday of the first month in each quarter);

2. participate in the process of reaching consensus regarding state legislative priorities;

3. educate and involve local constituencies in advocating for these issues affecting the elderly (includes but is not limited to organizing responses to the alert tree); and

4. where possible, assist with costs of CO-AGE activities through voluntary contributions and in-kind assistance such as meeting space, printing, mailing, and copying.
