As the U.S. population ages and people stay healthy and active longer, communities must adapt. The United Way Alliance on Aging has committed to pursuing the creation and fostering of Age-Friendly Communities using the AARP Livable Communities Model, which is an affiliate of the World Health Organization's Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Program. It is an international effort to help cities prepare for rapid population aging and the parallel trend of urbanization. Join us for this informative event.

Rodney Harrell, Director of Livability Thought Leadership for AARP National, will be our keynote speaker. He will present AARP's Livable Communities model and what it means to live in an age-friendly community. Additionally, the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission and an established age-friendly community from the region will give their presentations.
