Advisory Council Members and Community Leadership
The Tri-County Office on Aging Advisory Council acts in an advisory capacity to the Consortium Administrative Board. At least one-half of the council consists of senior citizens (age 60+), appointed by their respective units of government.
The remaining members represent community agencies appointed by the Consortium Board. This composition offers the perspectives of both seniors and service providers on aging issues.
