Celebrate How Seniors “Age My Way” During Older Americans Month
On May 5, 2022 by Libbie Chapuran
May is Older Americans Month (OAM), a national celebration established in 1963 to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country, in particular those who defended the nation. We celebrate and honor older adults and all their contributions every day.
And we will contribute to this national observation by spotlighting how our clients and residents Age My Way, the 2022 OAM theme. We’ll also exemplify our mission as we lift our voices to help ensure all older adults can enjoy their right to essential services as they age.
Want to join our celebration? Follow along on social media to participate virtually or engage in any of the ways below:
- Share the LeadingAge Choices video:
- Ask your Members of Congress to support policies to ensure older adults can age their way—then share the Action Alert.
- Schedule or share social media posts throughout May, including the second Video Share Day on May 24, featuring Life Changes. LeadingAge's social media toolkit can help!
