ICAA honors eight innovative efforts that advance active aging

The International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) began with an innovative idea: Create an industry dedicated to better health, wellness and quality of life for adults over 50 by uniting professionals across sectors who also share this goal. Launched in 2001, ICAA today leads, connects and defines this industry—the active-aging industry—made up of like-minded professionals and organizations that develop wellness facilities, programs and services for the older population. Active-aging devotees combine creativity, positive energy, and a passionate commitment to older-adult wellness to advance this movement. And by providing ongoing opportunities for clients to be more active and to learn, grow and participate in their communities, these professionals and organizations support the 50-plus population in living well.
