Setting Up State Units
Those involved with SAGE work primarily with existing groups and programs to build interdisciplinary partnerships. A state unit should (although this is not a firm requirement) be set up with at least one, and preferably several individuals, from each of the following professions/disciplines:
-
Regulators
-
Designers
-
Researchers
Individuals from the following additional fields should also be considered:
Agencies that serve older adults
-
Consultants
-
Manufacturing representatives
-
Medical Professionals
-
Older adults
The state unit shall appoint, at a minimum, a President and Treasurer, who shall serve on the SAGE Federation Steering Committee. Additional officers may be appointed as desired. For more information on how to start a State Unit please contact the SAGE business office . |
