Communities for a Lifetime

The Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging (MNLCOA) organizes consumer, advocacy, social and health service organizations to advocate boldly for 
positive system changes for older adults and their families in Minnesota. Sixteen leading nonprofit organizations form the Council. Together these organizations represent or serve more than 300,000 seniors and family caregivers.

A key initiative of the Council has been Communities for a Lifetime, a 2009 law passed to promote better local services and infrastructure for seniors in Minnesota. The Council organizes an annual Aging Summit, to address trends and policy needs related to Aging. The Council’s Web site serves as a valuable portal to information about aging issues in the state.
