GROWS Mission

GROWS provides a platform for networking, education, advocacy, and public awareness for senior service professionals in Montgomery County.

From a Single Member to a Thriving Network

Since 1989, GROWS has grown from a small group of passionate individuals to a thriving network of hundreds of members–each dedicated to improving the lives of older adults. Our members represent a wide range of professions, including home care, healthcare, senior housing, financial planning, real estate, legal services, transportation and other fields that touch the aging experience.

We create space for meaningful connection and idea-sharing, while also advocating for policies and services that help seniors live safely, independently, and with dignity. Whether you're a longtime professional in aging services or just beginning your journey in this field, GROWS offers a place to engage with peers who share your values and your commitment to senior well-being.

While GROWS welcomes members from across the country, our roots and impact are strongest in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia–where we proudly serve as a central networking hub for professionals in aging services.
