Age-Friendly North Jersey and Sustainable Jersey share many of the same strategies and goals, so much so that a marriage between movements seems written in the stars. Even better, it's written into an “action step.”

In March, Sustainable Jersey created a new incentive program for municipalities to adopt “Community Design for All Ages” programs and policies.

We had a wonderful time at our first in-person gathering since early 2020, with much thanks to our Generations for Garfield hosts.

The photo on the left shows our "speed networking" activity, in which we shared our accomplishments in brief, on-one-on networking sessions. Our group photo below shows off our new swag: hats and reusable bags with the Age-Friendly North Jersey logo!

We missed those who were unable to attend, and hope to be able to host another safe in-person gathering soon.
