Ready, fire, aim

For a long time, we've been talking about better ways to tell the stories of the people who work to improve the lives and circumstances of people as they age.

"We" are the folks at The Milwaukee Aging Consortium, a membership organization for those people, who range from direct care workers to housing developers.

And everyone in between.

If you're passionate about making the lives of older people in Milwaukee (or anywhere) better, here's your chance to weigh in, personally and professionally. Remember that this is a public forum, and while it's appropriate to talk about "difficult" problems, it's not the intention of this blog to be a gripe fest or a tool for bashing!


Tell us your stories about aging.
What's going on that others should know about?
Who's doing a great job?
What's being done to fill in gaps?

In February, we're holding an Issues in Aging Summit: Expanding Housing Options. What do you think needs to be done to help people stay in their homes, their communities, or better places as they age?
