The Southern Maine Agency on Aging’s Older Americans Act funding focuses our services on reaching the older adults in our communities with the greatest need. The term “greatest social need’’ refers to need caused by non-economic factors, which include physical and mental disabilities, language barriers, and cultural, social, or geographical isolation, including isolation caused by racial or ethnic status (National Center on Law and Elder Rights). Speaker requests that further our impact within these communities will be our first priority, and additional requests will be accommodated as we are able.
To best accommodate requests, we ask that speaker requests are submitted with at least 6-8 weeks advance notice. We can consider requests made in shorter timeframes.
