GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. training regarding Older Americans act service provision.

The Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast will be holding general training regarding Older Americans Act (OAA) service provision on June 11, 2015. Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) are mandated by the Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965, as amended in 2006, to serve as advocates and visible focal points for the elderly within their designated Planning and Service Areas (PSA). In Florida, Area Agencies are designated by the Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) and serve as the regional administrative entity to design a responsive service delivery system for elders and their caregivers. Service dollars are allocated within the PSA in accordance with the AAA Board-approved funding allocation for an array of services provided through contracts with local service organizations.

The training is being held to educate those organizations who may be interested in bidding on the upcoming Older Americans Act Request for Proposal which is anticipated to be publicly noticed in June 2015 for services to begin January 2016.

Training will cover technology requirements, budget methodology, and financial reporting from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Training will cover programs and services as well as outcome measures from 1:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. The full agendas can be found at http://www.youragingresourcecenter.org/consumer-care-planning. Questions regarding the upcoming OAA RFP will not be answered.

The training will be held in the AAAPB/TC Community Room at 4400 North Congress Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33407. Please RSVP to Nancy Yarnall, Director of Consumer Care and Planning at [phone], ext. 59215 if you plan to attend, or if you have questions.
