The Department on Aging Advisory Council’s primary responsibility is the planning, coordination, leadership and implementation of programs for the aging in Jackson County.  The goal is to help older members live full, active and independent lives by coordinating available services. 

The Council reports to the Human Services committee of the Board of Commissioners and acts in an advisory capacity to the Department on Aging on issues of policy and services. 
Council members should be capable of providing a scope of representation of senior citizen needs, and should be geo-graphically located throughout the County.  Affiliation in a senior organization is helpful. 

The Council consists of fifteen (15) members, all public members, eight (8) of which must be 60 years of age or older.  Meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month at the Crouch Senior Center.  The length of term is two (2) years and appointments are made in December.
