<p class="MsoNormal"><b>COVID-19: Social Isolation and other Pandemic Issues<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">This month we will continue our discussion of the particular issues for older adults that have been created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen what partnering can do to connect service silos
or to develop programs. We have an opportunity to lean into the current struggle, be creative in how we address it, and come out the other end with better or new programs. I hope that you all will join me in continuing the conversation and working together
to adapt and strengthen our Aging Network. After a brief, round table opportunity to share the status of your agencies, services, or neighborhoods, we will continue our discussion from last month.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">Below are the topics I previously proposed.
<b>Please think about how you experience these from your vantage point and what ideas you have to address them. Feel free to add issues you are aware of that are not listed below.
