Unidentified Speaker (identified only as “Speaker” in the transcript) urged Virginians to expand support for aging services, saying, “Aging is universal, a common thread that binds us all, and supporting aging services is a critical investment in families and our entire community.”
The speaker credited the Older Americans Act with enabling Area Agencies on Aging to provide local supports, saying: “Thanks to the Older Americans Act, Area Agencies on Aging provide support to help us age well in our own communities.” The remarks framed aging as a shared community concern and presented continued investment in services as both a family and public good.
The brief remarks did not identify a venue or a speaker by name, and the transcript records no formal motions, votes, or next procedural steps.

The transcript closes with a call to action: “It’s time to recognize it, embrace it, and support it,” emphasizing public recognition and support for aging services as the primary takeaway.
