TO : STATE AND AREA AGENCIES AND TRIBES ADMINISTERING
PLANS UNDER TITLES III AND VI OF THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT OF 1965,
AS AMENDED
SUBJECT : Older Americans Act Nutrition Program: Silver
Anniversary Awards
REFERENCES: TITLES III AND VI OF THE OLDER AMERICANS
ACT
We are pleased to share narrative information describing
the accomplishments of nutrition providers submitted by State
Agencies on Aging and Administration on Aging (AoA) Regional Offices
for recognition during the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the
Older Americans Act nutrition program. The AoA is highlighting
nutrition programs across the country emphasizing how they have
responded to the increased demand and needs of older persons.
State Agencies on Aging utilized many creative approaches to
select a program within their state to recognize. Regional Offices
of the AoA prepared narratives about outstanding Native American
providers. Both Titles III and VI program narratives are included
in the attached Silver Anniversary Awards summary booklet for
your information.
During this celebratory year, we have a need to look back and
appreciate the efforts of those programs that served to shape
and mold a strong consumer-focused nutrition program that is essential
for older persons. We look forward to another 25 years of challenges
as the number of older people continues to grow and we continue
to adapt successfully to meet their needs.
We congratulate each program submitted for recognition.
William F. Benson
Acting Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Aging
