Western Arizona Council of Governments

Western Arizona Council of Governments Strengthening Communities, Empowering People Arizona's response to this requirement was to create 6 regional planning districts.

In the late 1960's the federal government began requiring increased collaborative planning with the goal of improved uniformity, long-range planning and closer program coordination across city, town, county and state boundaries. The Councils of Governments, AKA Regional Councils, are the voluntary associations within these planning districts. WACOG serves the Region IV planning district, covering

Mohave, La Paz and Yuma Counties. WACOG was created to: improve efficiencies and coordination across multiple federal programs; develop long-range strategies to address needs, particularly in areas of transportation, the environment and human services; and, be a mechanism to address issues such as communication, planning, policymaking, coordination, advocacy and technical assistance.

Our Executive Director, Veronica Shorr, made her way to Lake Havasu City today to join Paul La Voie on his radio program Speak Out to discuss Elder Abuse Prevention Awareness Month.

During the interview, Veronica shared information about the importance of recognizing the signs of elder abuse, raising awareness, and ensuring older adults have access to the support and resources they need to live safely and with dignity.

Thank you to Paul La Voie and Radio Central for helping shine a light on this important issue and for being a partner in educating our communities.

💜 Together, we can help prevent elder abuse and support the well-being of older adults throughout Western Arizona.
