Dear [SUA /AAA/Tribal organization Contact Name]:
We are writing to again to request your participation in an important survey sponsored by the
Administration for Community Living (ACL) called the Aging Network Partnerships and Effectiveness
Survey. ACL has partnered with Mathematica, USAging, and ADvancing States to conduct this survey as
part of a larger study. Through the survey, ACL hopes to learn about how agencies and organizations in
the Aging Network collaborate to improve the lives of older adults, and how it determines the
effectiveness of these efforts. We are reaching out to you with two requests:
Please complete the survey on behalf of your [Stat Unit on Aging (SUA), Area Agency on Aging
(AAA)/Older Americans Act (OAA) Title VI Native American tribal organization] today! The
survey 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 how [SUAs/AAAs/OAA Title
VI Native American tribal organizations] evaluate the costs and benefits of the services they provide.
Please use the login information below to access the survey online. You can complete the survey on a
computer, tablet, cell phone, or mobile device.

The input of [SUAs/AAAs/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 how much benefit a program provides. The information you provide will only be accessible to
the evaluation team and ACL. Individual responses will be grouped with others in published evaluation
reports.
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.
