LRM Stakeholder Work Groups
This is your chance to make an impact on how Maryland enables healthy longevity to become a place where all Marylanders lead healthy, financially secure, purposeful, and connected lives. Participants will have the opportunity to identify solutions, shape priorities to reach LRM's four epic goals, and inform the Maryland State Plan on Aging. Each Work Group will meet a minimum of four times over a two-month period beginning in September 2024, and members are asked to commit to approximately two hours of work per week during this time. This is a volunteer engagement position.
Applicants are asked to join one of four Work Groups:
Build a Longevity Ecosystem: Collaborate across state and local governments, public and private sectors, and philanthropies to help Maryland prepare for the opportunities and challenges of the changing demographic landscape.
- Supportive and inclusive communities
- Addressing ageism, systematic inequality, and elder justice
- Building collective capacity through local leadership
-
Promote Economic Opportunity for All: Support a multigenerational workforce with opportunities for all—regardless of age and ability—while advancing Maryland's economic competitiveness.

Optimize Health, Wellness, and Mobility: Invest in healthier, more purposeful, and active lifestyles for Marylanders of all ages to enjoy longevity and delay dependency.

LRM Stakeholder Advisory Group
Stakeholder Advisory Group members will attend the four Stakeholder Work Group meetings -- some serving as Work Group Chairs -- supported by MDoA staff to set agendas, lead meetings, and ensure the Work Goup is achieving it's goal. They will also attend four Advisory Group meetings to discuss progress and finalize recommendations to be included in the LRM Plan. The primary role of the LRM Stakeholder Advisory Group is to:
- Provide leadership for each Work Group, defining goals and priorities;
- Communicate with other Advisory Group members to avoid redundancy among work; and
- Report recommendations for informing the LRM Plan.
