The Commission on Aging serves as a catalyst for improving public awareness of the senior and aging community. We work in collaboration with diverse community members and organizations to build bridges, open dialogue, celebrate accomplishments, encourage programming, and explore issues and concerns of older adults. Our intent is to promote solutions to the problems and challenges and celebrate the contributions of our older citizens.
Statutory Authority: 2.23.090

2024 ANNUAL REPORT
GLANCING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OUR ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2024
Aging affects us all. Often, our life experiences lead us to focus on the ways in which we differ (such as race, gender, religious preference, or socio-economic status). But aging is an experience we all have in common. Everyone who is lucky enough to grow old will feel some of the pains (and hopefully, some of the joys) associated with aging. So everyone will benefit from making Bloomington a more comfortable and welcoming community in which to age, not just those citizens who already are older now.
And that is the goal of the work we do: To help Bloomington become more age-and-ability-friendly. Our Annual Report will give you an overview of who we are, what we've done in 2024, and our plans for 2025. You can access the full text of the report by clicking on the link below. We would welcome the opportunity to address any questions you might have about our work.
