A series of dialogues among service providers was held in greater Cleveland, Ohio, to increase understanding about gay and lesbian aging, identify issues in working with this population, and develop strategies for improving local services and opportunities for older gays and lesbians. Evaluation of the series suggested that it greatly increased awareness and sensitivity among those in attendance and more modestly changed the community and organizations represented. Follow-up activities by participants included targeted outreach, related conversations with supervisors and coworkers, policy review, and in-service training. Suggestions are made for replicating the series in other communities.
