Governance and Community Support
EngAging Illinois was developed through an extensive collaborative process involving 15 state agencies, a 25-member Community Advisory Council, and nine public engagement sessions across Illinois that gathered input from hundreds of residents.
EngAging Illinois Multisector Plan for Aging Commission
Established by the Governor’s Executive Order, the EngAging Illinois Multisector Plan for Aging Commission, guides the work of translating this plan into action.
The Commission's diverse membership includes people with a variety of subject matter expertise and lived experience, with particular attention to ensuring they reflect the geographic, racial, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity of Illinois.
Co-chaired by the MPA Chief Planning Officer Michelle Hoersch and RRF Foundation for Aging CEO Mary O’Donnell, the Commission gathers at least four times a year, guides the activities of the Plan’s implementation work groups , produces an annual progress report, and will update the Plan every three years.
