| | As OAGE continues to grow and evolve, we are excited to welcome several new members to the OAGE Board of Directors. Their energy, experience, and commitment to aging services and education will help guide our organization into the future. We also extend our sincere gratitude to our outgoing board members for their dedication, leadership, and many contributions to OAGE. Their service has helped strengthen our mission and support professionals, students, and older adults across Ohio. We thank them for the lasting impact they have made on our organization and the field of aging. |
| | One of the most meaningful ways to make an impact within OAGE and across Ohio is by joining an OAGE committee. Our committees play a vital role in guiding the work of the organization, developing educational opportunities, strengthening professional connections, supporting students and emerging leaders, advancing advocacy efforts, and helping shape the future of aging services throughout the state. Whether you work in direct services, healthcare, academia, policy, research, community engagement, or aging network leadership, your voice and perspective matter. |
