1. State and Federal Report (Langer)

Laura Langer of the WI Bureau of Aging and Disability Resources (BADR)

thanked the AAA staff for working on data entry for the fiscal year. Older

Adult Act funding is generated from the data that is collected throughout the

year. Laura met with Dane County AAA this morning and discussed

Nutrition budget is good through January 26, 2026 yet. Will be watching

the Federal funding as the government opens back up. Speakers Task

Force is being formed. Not sure on the content of the group yet. Maureen

McCarville is in this group and we could reach out to her for Advocacy

ideas. Carrie Molkey has also been attending with WAAN. Adult

Protective Services was the first group represented and advocated for.

There are around 45 issues on the table that need advocacy for older

adults.

Two links Laura shared about meetings for older adults and how to register

if people wish to speak on behalf of any agendas filed.
