COMMISSION ON AGING SEEKS NEW MEMBER

(Placerville, CA) - The El Dorado County Commission on Aging is currently accepting applications from interested residents to fill one Community Representative member vacancy. The Commission strives to attain a balanced geographic representation and applicants are sought from all areas of the county, including South Lake Tahoe. Preference is given to individuals aged 60 years and older.

“The Commission on Aging is looking for someone who’s passionate about advocating for and developing community solutions for older adults,” said Yvette Wencke, Program Manager of El Dorado County Older Adult Services. “Anyone interested in joining the Commission should also have time to invest in the Commission meetings that are held on the third Thursday of every month and serve on Ad Hoc Committees for projects important to local seniors."

The Commission on Aging is an advisory committee to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors. The Commission also works with the county’s Director of the local Area Agency on Aging on community interests and issues faced by seniors in El Dorado County. This includes but is not limited to, developing community centers in strategic areas of the county to make services accessible to all seniors. The group also promotes services that prevent elder abuse and help seniors to remain in their homes.

The deadline to submit a membership application is June 29, 2024.  For additional information and to obtain a membership application form, please contact Yasmin Hichborn at (530) 642-4833 or via email at yasmin.hichborn@edcgov.us.
