Annual Meeting
2026 Annual Meeting and Luncheon was held on September 25
The NC Coalition on Aging’s Annual Meeting and Luncheon is a gathering of Coalition members and those with an interest in aging. It is a celebration of the collaborative focus of the Coalition’s work. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to connect and share with other attendees, learn more about what the Coalition has been up to since the last annual meeting, and hear from a national leader in aging.
The meeting also provides the opportunity for the Coalition to present the Pioneer Award to recognize an individual who has made long-time outstanding contributions to the field of aging in our state.
