Members/Partners

An organizational structure has been put in place to manage the Older Dominion Partnership. A detailed list of the Study Implementation Team, Study Partners, Study Technical Advisors, and Community Advisors can be viewed by selecting their links in the left navigation.

The Study Implementation Team

The Study Implementation Team is comprised of individuals who provide overall project direction for this initiative -- establishing study goals and objectives, formulating the research plan, ensuring deadlines are met, and building the broader project coalition.

Study Partners

Study Partners are companies and organizations that are keenly interested in how the age wave will impact Virginia. Representatives from these companies and organizations will review and provide input at key project decision points: overall direction of the initiative, topics guide for the research, questionnaire drafts, and initial review of the research findings. Study Partners will help "brainstorm" the optimal long-term approach -- 30,000-foot recommendations -- to elevate the importance of the aging cause/aging preparedness in Virginia.

Study Partners' institutional names will be associated with the Older Dominion Partnership and the project's final report. Some of the Study Partners' representatives also serve on the Older Dominion Partnership's Study Implementation Team, the core group of individuals listed above who are directing the details of this project.

Study Technical Advisors

Study Technical Advisors are individuals who are recognized experts on aging issues. Technical Advisors will provide input and feedback at key project decision points. They will review and comment on the secondary research insights, help finalize and prioritize the survey objectives, review the survey topics guide, review the initial report and findings, and provide input on the recommendations contemplated by the Implementation Team and Study Partners.

Community Advisors

Many agencies, organizations, and associations make up our community. Ultimately, many of these groups should be informed about the Older Dominion Partnership. To this end, Older Dominion Partnership planning will involve Community Advisors -- well-connected individuals who have a broad perspective regarding key community groups.

Several people have been invited to advise the Older Dominion Partnership in this capacity -- to think about future ideas for meaningful "community involvement."
