to identify priority concerns of
Butler,
Harvey and Sedgwick Counties’ older adult
residents. They will then work as local
delegates to advocate for the priority issues
which are expressed by the tri-county. In
October the entire Kansas Silver Haired
Legislature will work together to develop bills
and resolutions that are presented to the Kansas
Legislature and the Governor as recommendations
for state policy. If you have any comments or
questions for your local delegate you may
