Age-Friendly Montgomery Needs Your Help – Survey on Programs for Older Workers

2017-09-15T12:52:51-04:00September 15th, 2017|Uncategorized|

Age-Friendly Montgomery is working to ensure that Montgomery County is a “community for a lifetime.” As one component of its work, a group of employment experts is collecting information about programs that help older workers find work and stay employed. The data they collect will enable public and private groups to identify gaps and enable them to publicize your programs and those of your peers.

If you offer programs for older workers in Montgomery County or if you know nonprofits that do, please complete the short survey.

Questions? Please contact David Gamse, CEO of the Jewish Council for the Aging, at 301-255-4255.
