I am proud to be the President of the United Seniors of Oakland and Alameda County (USOAC) and also the President of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. For 39 years, USOAC has served as a voice for older adults and a vehicle for senior empowerment.

​

Since 1986 with convening of a sponsoring committee for senior organizing and then our Founding Convention in 1991, we have been getting into “good trouble” as we fight for older adult quality of life! The struggle and journey for power and respect for the aging population throughout Alameda County is not over! As we enter into our 39th year as grassroots, multi-ethnic, intergenerational, countywide, senior focused nonprofit organization, be assured that we and our allies will never stop fighting for better conditions for older adults. Please say with me, “if it is good for seniors, then it is good for everyone!”

 

The 34th Annual Convention continues to demonstrate the strength of our organization. It is our public commitment to be that voice for aging adults and the vehicle for senior empowerment. The United Seniors has a membership of more than 13,000. We recognize that there is strength in organized numbers and as I always say, “if it is good for seniors, then it is good for everyone!“

 

We will not give up on our mission of senior empowerment through organizing, advocacy, and civic engagement. A tremendous thank you to our Board of Directors, who serve as our leadership team, and to our small but dedicated and passionate staff! We value our friends of all ages and encourage everyone to join us in supporting the aging population of Alameda County.

May God bless you all,

Nate Miley, President
