SeniorsPlus, the designated Area Agency on Aging serving Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford counties, seeks dedicated individuals to join its Advisory Council.

The Advisory Council, a requirement under the Older Americans Act, provides valuable advice on issues concerning older adults and Older Americans Act programs. Council members play a crucial role in advocating for the interests of older people, identifying service gaps, and influencing policies and programs that affect older people.

The SeniorsPlus Advisory Council meets five times a year (in person or via Zoom if preferred) and offers opportunities to engage with local, state, and federal elected officials, make community presentations, and testify at public hearings.

If you’re interested in joining our Advisory Council and making a difference in the lives of older adults in your community, please get in touch with Laure Johnson, Community Services Director, at ljohnson@seniorsplus.org or by calling 207-795-4010.
