Colorado’s aging advocates invite you to join a presentation to you and your local representative of  the most important issues affecting older adults in our state. As Colorado is the second fastest aging state in the country, this information is more important than ever.

Join us, along with candidates for elected office and your neighbors, to learn more about the pressing topics of today and their intersection with our changing demographics. The hour-long, virtual event will specifically cover the following issues as they relate to older adults:

• Workforce: Older adults are becoming the fastest growing segment of our state’s workforce. Learn about the needs of older workers and the opportunity this offers our economy.
• Housing: Colorado is facing a housing crisis. Hear about the specific implications for older adults.
• Consumer protection: Attempts at fraud and exploitation touch every Coloradan. We’ll discuss these trends as they relate to older Coloradans.
• Economic security: The cost of food, health care, and utilities are significant for many Coloradans, particularly those with limited or fixed income. We’ll cover how rising costs touch the lives of older adults.

This event will be emceed by Colorado AARP State Director, Bob Murphy, who will facilitate the discussion of these important topics.
