Older Americans Month Events

Each May, the Administration for Community Living spearheads the celebration of Older
Americans Month as a time to recognize older Americans’ contributions, highlight aging trends
and reaffirm commitments to serving older adults. As part of MARC’s commitment to thriving older
adults and communities, we now coordinate two annual events in celebration and service of Older
Americans Month: the Age of Celebration Health Fair and the Age Positive Conference.
