Marilyn Gugliucci to serve on inaugural board of Maine Council on Aging

Director of Geriatric Education and Research Marilyn Gugliucci, Ph.D., was elected to serve on the inaugural board of the Maine Council on Aging (MCOA). The mission of the council is to build a strong, multi-disciplinary network that represents the aging continuum and works to improve the lives of older adults in Maine. 

Currently, there are 27 organizational members of the council, including the University of New England and its Collaborative for Optimal Aging and the Maine Gerontological Society.

The two-fold goal of the MCOA is to work with advocates to develop a strategy in support of public policy that benefits older adults and to ensure that Maine provides input into a national aging agenda through fostering strong relationships with Congressional delegation, federal agencies and national associations.
