The Commonwealth Council on Aging, Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, the Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging, Dominion Energy, and AARP Virginia cordially invite you to join us as we celebrate the Council’s 2024 Best Practices Award Winners! The Best Practices Awards serve to encourage organizations across the Commonwealth to develop and support programs and services that assist older adults to age in their community. Established in 2006, the Best Practices Awards recognize and encourage the replication of model programs, particularly those that foster aging in place, livable communities, and home and community-based services.
The upcoming webinar will highlight this year’s amazing winners:
Webinar attendees will learn more about these award-winning programs, how the programs can be replicated, and how programs can be nominated for the Council’s 2025 Best Practices Awards.
Real-time captioning will be provided via Zoom.

The Aging Programs within the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services has three advisory boards. Pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-2100, advisory boards provide advice and comment to an executive branch agency or office. An advisory board, commission or council serves as a formal liaison between the agency or office and the public to ensure that the agency or office understands public concerns and that the activities of the agency or office are communicated to the public. An advisory board, commission or council does not serve a regulatory or rule-making purpose. It may participate in the development of public policy by providing comment and advice.
The advisory boards meet quarterly and all meetings are open to the public. View directions to DARS Office for Aging Services.
