KAG
is a dynamic organization comprised of members across the Commonwealth
of Kentucky. KAG's mission is to advocate, educate, and network
with vision for and with older adults and those who impact their
lives. In order to achieve this goal more effectively, I encourage
you to become a member of KAG.
 Welcome
to KAG's Web Site and greetings to you from the Peggy Roll and Barbara
Gunn, the President and Immediate Past President of KAG. Our organization
is an active and energized entity that is working to implement its
mission and realize its vision of facilitating the assurance that
all Kentuckians are able to live healthy, productive lives in the
environment of their choice for as long as they can. There are many
activities, events, initiatives, and partnerships we plan, prepare,
and engage in to assure this vision and to implement the mission
of KAG. For example, the 2008 Conference Committee is actively working
on the April 13 - April 15 conference taking place in Louisville,
Kentucky. The Public Policy Committee is examining current political
issues and their potential impact on older adults; and is partnering
with other groups to advocate on behalf of seniors during and after
the General Assembly in Frankfort. The Membership Committee is working
to identify potential new members with an interest in aging issues.
The Communications Committee is continuously working on the redesign
and enhancement of KAG's website and preparing the next newsletter
(KAGNotes' Spring Issue). The Nominations Committee is recruiting
members who are willing to serve as an officer or member of the
KAG Board and is soliciting nominations for KAG Awards. The Finance
Committee is working to achieve a balanced and adequate budget to
help reach our goals. The Task Force for Geriatric/Gerontology Education
is working with colleges, universities, and students to ensure that
we are attracting new people to KAG and into the field of aging.
KAG
is an organization for anyone interested issues concerning aging,
gerontology and older adults. It may be the organization for you.
Join us as we continue to strive towards excellence in Gerontology
and quality of life for the older of adults of the Commonwealth.
Sincerely,
Peggy Roll
KAG President
