County AOA looking for new membership

The Ventura County Area Agency on Aging is seeking applications from individuals interested in serving on its advisory council.

The purpose of the council is to recommend the direction of senior services and programs in Ventura County. New appointments are being considered for twoyear terms beginning immediately. The deadline for submitting applications is June 5.

Victoria Jump, director of the agency, stated the organization is seeking applications from senior citizens as well as other interested persons. "By law, the advisory council is required to have a majority of its membership 60 years of age or older and reflect the economic, geographic and ethnic composition of the county. Older adults and minority representatives are strongly encouraged to apply," Jump said.

The advisory council meets regularly throughout the year.
