Mission and Purpose
The Chesapeake Task Force on Aging is a non-profit organization consisting of business professional members and local citizens who are focused on the “Quality of Life” for seniors in our community.

• To serve as a coordinating body for various agencies, groups and citizens interested in the older adult

• Encourage education and understanding of special needs of older adults
• Act as advocates on behalf of the older adult population
• Address legislative actions
