Committees

All members should consider participating on a CCGG Committee. Not only can you contribute your ideas and expertise to move the goals of CCGG forward, you also build relationships with your colleagues in gerontology and geriatrics statewide. Student members can gain valuable experience and skills, while creating a professional network.
