2024 Annual Meeting Well Attended

Our 2024 Annual Meeting, held on Saturday, November 9th in the beautifully remodeled Emerald Heights auditorium, was well-attended by members and guests from several CCRCs.


The final tally: 287 in-person attendees and 17 joining on Zoom. A big thank-you to the team at Emerald Heights for the smooth check-in procedure, comfortable seating and ample refreshments.


WACCRA President Laura Saunders summarized WACCRA's work over the course of the past year.


WACCRA Vice-President Kim Hickman gave attendees a review of the ongoing work of the Legislative Committee as we move toward the 2025 Legislative Session.


Laura Saunders moderated a discussion  with State Senator Karen Keiser (33rd Legislative District) and WACCRA Lobbyist Donna Christensen about Legislative processes and what each of us can do to support WACCRA's Legislative efforts going forward.


Guest speaker Mike Anbesse, Deputy Assistant Secretary at DSHS's Aging and Long Term Support Administration (ALTSA), gave an overview of the agency. The demographic forecast he shared with attendees shows the "grey wave" that is coming, and he confirmed that his Administration is committed to a "Multisector Plan for Aging" that honors the rights of seniors.
