The House Concurrent Resolution recognizes May 2026 as Older Americans Month in Vermont and designates May 6, 2026, as Age Strong Vermont Day. This initiative aims to honor the invaluable contributions of older Vermonters, who represent a significant portion of the state's population, with 22.8 percent being 65 years or older as of 2024. The resolution highlights the importance of leveraging the diverse experiences and skills of older adults, particularly in light of the state's changing demographics.

The resolution also emphasizes the ongoing efforts of the Age Strong VT initiative, established under the Older Vermonters Act, which focuses on various aspects of aging, including affordable housing, healthy aging, social connections, and support for caregivers. The initiative is a collaborative effort involving state government, nonprofit organizations, and local communities, and the designation of Age Strong Vermont Day aims to underscore the societal importance of these efforts. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to relevant commissioners to ensure awareness and support for the initiative.
