Thank you to everyone who attended the Silver Haired Legislature Meeting hosted by the Area Agency on Aging of West Central Arkansas at the Malvern Senior Activity Center on Monday, August 3, 2026.

A special thank you to our state legislators for taking the time to attend, listen, and engage with our Silver Haired delegates as they shared the issues and concerns that matter most to older Arkansans:

Senator Steve Crowell
Senator Matt McKee
Representative Bruce Cozart
Representative Rick McClure
Representative Richard McGrew
Representative Les Warren
Proxies from Congressman Bruce Westerman's Office

Your willingness to hear directly from older adults helps ensure their voices are represented as policies affecting Arkansas seniors are considered.

The Silver Haired Legislature gives Arkansans age 60 and older the opportunity to identify legislative priorities, advocate for positive change, and improve the quality of life for older adults across our state.

Thank you to the @ Malvern Senior Activity Center for hosting this important meeting and helping provide a space where the voices of older Arkansans can be heard! ❤️
