Mission

Sanctioned by the Iowa Code, the Iowa Commission on Aging is charged with serving as a visible advocate for older Iowans by establishing policies for reviewing and commenting upon all state plans, budgets, and policies which affect elders and for providing technical assistance to any agency, organization, association, or individual representing the needs of elders. The commission has 11 members, seven of whom are appointed by the Governor. At least four of these seven must be 55 years of age or older, and no more than four can belong to the same political party. The remaining four members are Senators or Representatives, appointed by their chamber of the legislature to serve as non-voting members. The commission meets at least four times each year.
