Maryland Advocates - aging with strength

As a public service to older Marylanders and the Maryland Commission on Aging, the Beacon Newspapers is launching and underwriting a new website to assist those who advocate for older adults in Maryland.

The website will enable advocates to communicate among themselves, share opinions, post upcoming events, and learn better ways to influence decision makers and lawmakers.

The site and its services are available without charge to all county-based commissions on aging throughout Maryland, nonprofit organizations that serve or represent older Marylanders and their interests, and interested individuals of all ages.

Those registering on the site will also receive regular (but limited) e-mails informing them about issues and events and, on occasion, urging them to take action.
