Older adults thrive, enjoy quality of life and play an active role in shaping livable communities for all ages in Pima County.
Guided by the voices of elders, we advocate and design solutions that improve the quality of life for all.
The purpose of the Leadership Council is to help the ELDER Alliance design a new vision for growing old in Tucson and to set priorities and strategies for action by the ELDER Alliance and the community. ELDER Alliance strategy is guided by an experienced committee with specialized backgrounds in issues facing older adults, local resources, collective impact, evaluation, and more.
