Set your goals for Active Aging Week 2009

The goal is simple for Active Aging Week, an annual health promotion event promoted by the International Council on Active Aging®: Give as many older adults as possible the means to experience wellness activities and exercise in a safe, friendly and fun atmosphere. ICAA accomplishes that goal through you, our colleagues who plan and host the week’s events.

Whether a single presentation or class or a week filled with activities, your work introduces older adults and their families to the concepts of active aging. Because so many of you have hosted Active Aging Week, each year thousands of older adults find opportunities to stay engaged in life through the dimensions of wellness (physical, spiritual, cognitive/intellectual, social, emotional, professional/vocational).
