Dawn Simonson and Dick Graham will discuss the initiative called Living the Questions, a program undertaken by the Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging, a collaborative of thirteen leading nonprofit organizations with statewide service and advocacy presence. Formed in 2004 to advocate for home and community-based services, the Council has met with community leaders to raise awareness of and discuss the demographic, social and economic issues related to the aging of the baby boom generation. Through a series of dialogue sessions, the Council is gathering information about community aging issues as viewed by foundations, housing and community developers, civic groups, education officials, transportation representatives, faith communities, business and industry, and others.
