Advisory Council Members

The 27 volunteer members of our Advisory Council help support us as the resource on aging in our nine-county region. Three representatives from each of our nine counties advise the Agency on development and coordination of community-based systems of services for all older persons in our region. They also provide recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the distribution of federal and state funds.
