Cumulus Cares

We're passionate about supporting the work our customers do to improve the lives of their clients. We love supporting programs and initiatives that share our passion!

Every year, USAging proudly recognizes the innovative, successful and replicable programs and initiatives of its members through the USAging Aging Innovations & Achievement (AIA) Awards program.

Cumulus is proud to be a sponsor of this prestigious program, helping USAging honor and showcase the initiatives of Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Title VI Native American Aging Programs across the country.

This sharing of cutting-edge concepts, innovative ideas and successful strategies helps inspire others, seed replication and boost the capacity and success of all agencies.

Aging Innovations Awards honor the most innovative programs among all nominations received and Aging Achievement Awards recognize the most contemporary, effective, and replicable programs.

Annually, the awards are presented during the USAging Conference and Trade show. During the upcoming 49th Annual Conference and Trade show, in Tampa, FL, programs will be honored with engraved Aging Innovations Awards or Aging Achievement Awards. In addition, Cumulus’ sponsorship helps enable the top-ranking programs to receive monetary awards. The Cumulus team looks forward to presenting checks to the top winners on stage during the conference General Session on Tuesday July 9.

To qualify for an award, programs must have been in operation between one and five years, receive minimal assistance from outside experts, and demonstrate effective approaches in either offering new services or improving existing services. Awards criteria include demonstration of measurable results such as cost savings, improved client service and enhanced staff productivity. The AIA Awards are open to USAging AAA and Title VI members only.

Highlights of all past Aging Innovations Award recipients are available in the USAging AIA clearinghouse.
