Advisory Council
Adams County Office for Aging’s Citizens Advisory Council meets bi-monthly and is made up of 13-15 people from throughout the county. A majority of the Advisory Council members are over the age of 60, with several younger people representing various important constituency groups. This committee’s role is to advise the agency on matters of interest to the area’s older population and to help coordinate a range of services that help older Adams County residents live as independently as possible.
