Our advocacy for vulnerable populations saw notable success this year with the passage of the Tennessee Disability and Aging Act. This new legislation, which combines the efforts of the Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability and the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, will better support our aging and disabled populations under a single Department of Disability and Aging. We are honored to have played a role in this collaborative legislative process, and we look forward to seeing the benefits this will bring to communities across the state. I am deeply grateful to the GNRC team, our member governments, and our dedicated partners and volunteers for their hard work and shared commitment to our region. Together, we have made significant strides in building a more resilient, connected, and vibrant region, and I am confident the years ahead will bring even greater accomplishments.
Respectfully,
Bob Rial Dickson County Mayor
