The Next Master Aging Plan! What is most important to you? 

As the experts in what it means to be an older adult in Orange County, we’re counting on your input to help develop our 5-year Master Aging Plan. This strategic plan will guide our age-friendly community initiatives, events, programming, and policy from 2022-2027. The Master Aging Plan (MAP) goals should reflect what is most important to you!
