The Association works proactively to educate and inform the Maine legislature and U.S. Congress on specific legislative and budget issues affecting Maine’s elders. It also supports social and economic policies and resources that promote independence, dignity and economic self-sufficiency for generations of Maine’s elders.

The Association looks forward to the year ahead with its new leadership team.
