The House concurrent resolution recognizes May 2026 as Older Americans Month and designates May 6, 2026, as Age Strong Vermont Day.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of leveraging the diverse experiences and skills of older adults, particularly in light of the state's changing demographics.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the establishment of Age Strong VT, Vermont's first multisector plan on aging, which was initiated following the Older Vermonters Act. This initiative aims to address various aspects of aging, including affordable housing, healthy aging, social connections, and support for caregivers. The resolution calls for a specific day during Older Americans Month to celebrate the Age Strong VT initiative, underscoring its societal significance and the collaborative efforts of state agencies and local communities in supporting older Vermonters.
