LeadingAge Maryland Hosts Ninth Annual Legislative Reception

Sykesville, MD-LeadingAge Maryland convened legislators, stakeholders, and members from across the state at its annual Legislative Reception held on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 6-8 p.m., at The Maryland Inn in Annapolis.

In its ninth year, over 32 individuals attended, 15 of whom were legislators from the House Health and Government Operations Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. Legislators gathered alongside LeadingAge Maryland leadership, board members, and not-for-profit member providers to build relationships and discuss important issues facing older Marylanders.

"It is important that LeadingAge Maryland’s not-for-profit member providers of housing, services, and care have the opportunity to engage with our state legislators,” LeadingAge Maryland Board Chair and CSI Support & Development Regional Manager Brandon Moss said. “Our members provide a crucial perspective to the needs and challenges older adults are facing within our communities, as well as issues within our industry.”

For LeadingAge members, this annual event offers a chance to share with legislators the challenges older adults are grappling with, as well as the industry hurdles in providing housing, services, and care to aging Marylanders.
