Dear [SUA Contact Name]:
We need your help with an important survey sponsored by the Administration for Community Living
(ACL). ACL is conducting a new evaluation of how the Aging Network operates and what approaches
agencies use for measuring the effectiveness of the services they provide. ACL has partnered with
Mathematica, USAging, and ADvancing States to conduct this survey.
We are reaching out to you with two requests:
1. Could you please complete the survey on behalf of your State Unit on Aging when you
receive the email invitation next week from [STUDY EMAIL ADDRESS]? The survey will
be available online and will take about 15 minutes to complete. It asks questions about forming
partnerships with other organizations, how COVID-19 may have impacted those partnerships,
and return on investment.
2. Could you please encourage Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) in your state to take part in the
survey? In about two weeks, we will be sending out email invitations to AAAs asking them to
complete the survey as well.
The input of SUAs, AAA, and OAA Title VI Native American tribal organizations is very important to
helping us learn more about how agencies and organizations in the Aging Network work together and
measure return on investment.
If you have any questions, please email [STUDY EMAIL ADDRESS] or call Mathematica’s toll-free
number: XXX-XXX-XXXX. We look forward to your participation. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
