How do we build on the age-friendly community movement's successes and accelerate sustainable progress at local, state, national, and international levels? GIA brought together national and international leaders to explore various issues related to the concept and its sustainability. Through key informant interviews, focus groups, and a two-day leadership summit held in September 2015 in Washington, DC, we distilled best practices in sustainable age-friendly communities work that resulted in the framework presented in this document. This framework was an important outcome of GIA’s Community AGEnda initiative, a three-year effort to increase age-friendly activities in selected United States regions, supported by The Pfizer Foundation.
