A RESOLUTION to honor and commend the Johnson County Senior Center for receiving national accreditation from the National Council on Aging.

Impact

The accreditation received by the Johnson County Senior Center places it among a select group of only 110 centers nationwide, granted a five-year status from April 2023 until April 2028. This not only acknowledges the center's exemplary service and commitment to senior citizens but also encourages potential growth in outreach and service offerings, enhancing the overall welfare of the elderly population in Johnson County. By recognizing this achievement, the resolution aims to inspire other facilities and community organizations to strive for similar standards of excellence in their service to seniors.

Summary

Senate Joint Resolution 7100 (SJR7100) is a resolution that honors and commends the Johnson County Senior Center for achieving national accreditation from the National Council on Aging (NCOA). This resolution recognizes the efforts of Ms. Kathy Motsinger-Eller, the center's director, and the overall support from the community that contributed to this noteworthy accomplishment. It highlights the importance of community engagement and the impact of dedicated service organizations in enhancing the quality of life for seniors in the area.

Contention
