New Hampshire Commission on Aging State House Team
The NH COA State House Team is the NH COA’s working committee providing direct guidance to the Governor and General Court according to our charge.
Using the Commission’s Annual report and ongoing input from the Commission’s Task Forces and full Commission meetings, this team responds to proposed
policies as they align with the needs and interests of older adults in New Hampshire. The Team seeks to inform state leaders about current systems,
innovations, and opportunities to advance policies that meet the needs of a growing aging population. The Team’s work is done through effective communication,
relationship building, education and collaboration.
2024 Priority Policy Activities
As we live longer healthier lives, we extend our working years, remain engaged in civic activities longer, and are caregivers to loved ones.

Each of us ages differently. Regardless of our needs, the resources for living well should be there for all of us as we grow older.
The agenda below envisions a future where older Granite Staters are not only able to meet their basic needs as they age but are also respected and engaged fully in society.
