_50+ NCE is being designed to provide a direct and easy bridge between our growing 50+ population and our community agencies, corporations, and non-profits.  When your organization becomes a member, your programs & services become readily available through a centralized network; that includes your brochures, information, contacts, events, etc.  There will also be volunteers to help our older adults when they come to the network offices at MAC or access our web (becoming available Spring 2010).  In addition, network staff will continually track timely research on aging, as well as emerging needs & requests for new programs, the results of which will be made available to you.

The major mission of the network will include:

• Lifelong learning
• Leadership training
• Advocacy and civic engagement
• Wellness programs
• Leisure activities
• Service & community outreach opportunities
• Ongoing research on issues of importance to our 50+ population
• Social networking
