We’re thrilled to announce that Chairman Aaron Michlewitz, Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means, has been awarded the 2024 MCOA David P. Stevens Advocate of the Year Award!

Presented by Emily Shea, MCOA Board Chair and Commissioner of the Age Strong Commission, this award celebrates Chairman Michlewitz's unwavering advocacy and commitment to older adults in Massachusetts.

His leadership has been instrumental in advancing MCOA’s FY2025 initiative to increase the COA Formula Grant to $15 per elder—a crucial step in empowering Councils on Aging to better serve our communities.

Thank you, Chairman Michlewitz, for championing the work of COAs and making a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults across the state! 💙👏 #AdvocateOfTheYear #AgeFriendlyMA #MassachusettsLeadership
