The Task Force will serve as a forum to share information and to promote inter-agency understanding, and to work together as advocates, educators and legislative activists to address the issues of older adults.

The Virginia Beach Task Force on Aging held its first meeting in 1993. The organization received the support of Mayor Meyera Obendorf, and City Manager, James Spore. During its first year, the organization published a resource guide for seniors and held its first legislative breakfast.

Over the ensuing years, the Virginia Beach Task Force has continued to address the needs of the elderly by:

  • Sponsoring events focusing attention on issues important to seniors
  • Charitable Gifting to non-profit organizations that benefit seniors in Virginia Beach (see application below or on Additional Info Tab)
  • Funding worthy projects directly serving seniors in Virginia Beach Individuals, committees and informal groups within the Task Force stand ready to offer their services for seniors.

New project ideas are always welcome. Bring your creativity and energy. Join us!

About the VBTFA Meetings

Monthly meetings are held at various sites throughout Virginia Beach. Breakfast is served by the host site at 8:30 AM, and the formal meeting runs from 9 to 10 am.

Meetings typically begin with a brief educational presentation by a member or guest to inform members about services and programs available to seniors. Members bring announcements to be read by the chairperson about upcoming events, and a brief business meeting helps to update members on committee activities.

Everyone present receives the opportunity to introduce themselves to the group. We encourage those interested in becoming members to come to our next meeting! Please see Meeting Schedule for a complete listing of meeting dates and locations.
