Overview

FCOA offers various publications during the year for its members and friends. FCOA's publications are disseminated to a readership of more than 800 individuals and organizations throughout Florida, with a small number of readers outside of Florida. Readers are leaders in the aging network, including administrators, policy planners, health care professionals, educators, and businesses and organizations involved and interested in aging issues.

AgeWise. This format is an eight-page newsletter. It is printed on high quality paper, with two ink colors. Most issues contain at least one photograph. Since this format only allows for eight pages, advertising space is limited, but inserts are available. AgeWise is printed compliments of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida. It is mailed to 800+ individuals and organizations statewide.

Membership Directory. Published annually, this resource lists all members of FCOA, as well as key state and national aging resources in the aging network, and is distributed to 1000+ individuals and organizations.

Conference Program. You can reach 800+ individuals and organizations in the aging network through the Conference Program, a vital source of information about sessions, exhibits, and other conference activities. Place your company's ad in the Conference Program and receive exposure to key decision makers in the aging network! Exhibitor and Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Contact Jessica Jackson at (850) 222-8877, or e-mail at JJackson@mlduggar.com for more information.

Legislative Resource Guide. Distributed about the time that Florida's Legislative Session starts each year, members find this to be a valuable reference tool. We are currently seeking an ongoing sponsor for this annual publication. Contact Jessica Jackson at (850) 222-8877, or e-mail at JJackson@mlduggar.com for more information.
