Executive Director’s Message
 Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. It was great to see so many of you at the Mayor’s Annual Senior Holiday Celebration last month. And we had so much to celebrate as we closed out 2017. This past year, we made significant strides towards becoming a more age-friendly, livable city for all residents, in all wards.
I was honored to join Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Age-Friendly Task Force in November, as the World Health Organization and AARP recognized Washington, D.C. as a top city for Age-Friendly policies.
Age-Friendly DC is a collaborative community effort towards making our city a place where all DC residents are active, connected, healthy, engaged and happy in their environment.
