Reflections on 2024 and What's Ahead for 2025

The Madison Senior Center went through a lot of changes this last year, and I am proud of what we accomplished. The addition of another Program Coordinator to our team put us back to our former staffing level and helped us expand our programming reach beyond the walls of the Madison Senior Center.
Our first floor received a facelift when a long-planned recarpeting occurred. Fresh paint, a new fish tank, and a Book Nook added to the coziness of the space, and new wainscoting, a welcome screen, and a fireplace made the entrance both more visible and more inviting to passersby. Behind the scenes,
I worked with our dedicated interns to revise policies using an equity lens and to help prepare us as we seek re-accreditation through the Wisconsin Association of Senior Centers in 2025. I am excited to continue the good work we have started and to collaborate with staff, partners, volunteers, and stakeholders to make the Madison Senior Center a welcoming and responsive place for Madison’s older adult population. Here’s to a healthy and productive 2025!
