Cumulus Proudly Sponsors the 2026 USAging Aging Innovations & Achievement Awards

Cumulus is proud to continue its sponsorship of the USAging Aging Innovations & Achievement (AIA) Awards, a flagship USAging program celebrating excellence across the Aging Network.

The AIA Awards recognize outstanding programs developed by Area Agencies on Aging and Title VI Native American Aging Programs. Each year, USAging showcases initiatives that are improving services, strengthening communities and helping older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers live with greater health, independence and dignity.

Aging Achievement Awards recognize successful, contemporary and replicable programs, while Aging Innovations Awards honor the highest-ranking and most cutting-edge initiatives among the award recipients.

The 2026 awards will be presented during USAging’s 51st Annual Conference and Tradeshow, taking place July 18–21 in San Diego. Cumulus looks forward to joining USAging in celebrating this year’s honorees and the creativity, leadership and measurable impact their programs represent.

Cumulus works with organizations in more than 40 states, giving the company a firsthand view of the commitment and ingenuity found throughout the Aging Network.

For us, supporting the AIA Awards is about honoring the people who turn promising ideas into effective programs that can be strengthened, replicated and brought to more communities. Their work demonstrates what is possible when experience, innovation and a deep commitment to the people they serve come together.

–Tom Laba, President of Cumulus
