Advocating for and promoting the dignity, well-
being and self-sufficiency of older adults
The MMDC was designated
in 1980 by the Minnesota Board on Aging (MBA) as the Region 6 East Area
Agency on Aging (AAA). AAA's were established to allow local
senior citizen participation in administering funds from the Older American's
Act.
The AAA is governed by a 13 member advisory council. Each of
the four counties has three members that either represent seniors or services
providers serving seniors. The 13th member is the chair. The
council provides direction and feedback to the Aging Director on services
and projects funded, program development, and planning. MMDC offers
a variety of programs for older adults... including:
