2009 Senior Nutrition Task Force
In
March 2009, the Minnesota Board on
Aging was presented a Final Report
from the 2008 Senior Nutrition Task
Force.
The
Minnesota Board on Aging (MBA)
accepted the Nutrition Task Force
report and its Priorities and
Directions, and thanked and
acknowledged the work of the
participating members. The MBA also
understands the committees formed
from the Task Force will continue
their work in the operational
aspects of the program, including
contract and data management and
analysis.
In
accepting the Report, the MBA
understands that the Priorities and
Directions will continue to be
refined and made more specific. In
addition the MBA understands that
more specific proposals particularly
regarding new models of service
delivery, modernizing the program
through increased use of technology,
and targeting will be presented to
the MBA. The MBA understands that
the Task Force’s work on these
issues will continue with a report
to the Board at the December 2009
meeting.
