2025 and Beyond

Together, we foster public, private and non-profit collaborations that unite leaders to advance equitable opportunities for all Minnesotans as we age.

Organizing Strategies

As we organize around the mission of uniting leaders to advance opportunities for all Minnesotans as we age, you will find these the core competencies as hallmarks of working with the MN Leadership Council on Aging:

STRONG RELATIONSHIPS

We build trusted connections that bring forward and center the full diversity of voices aging across our state. 


POWERFUL CONVENINGS

We cultivate understanding, forge consensus, co-design solutions, and learn together.


SYSTEMS CHANGE

We mobilize collective expertise and networks to develop and advance transformational aging policy and initiatives.


2025 Focus Areas

Working together, we champion...


  • Diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities in which to age
  • A Minnesota free of ageism
  • Coordinated age-friendly systems
  • People who care for older Minnesotans
  • Powerful public policy solutions
We are also committed to our sustainability by strengthening our membership and capacity.
