The ARDC Advisory Committee on Aging has broad representation from senior consumers, senior advocacy groups, faith communities, volunteer organizations, educational institutions and county government, to name a few. One-half of the committee must be age 60+. Terms are for 3 years and members may serve two consecutive terms.

The purpose of the Advisory Committee on Aging:

• Represent the views of older adults

• Conduct public hearings

• Review local proposals for funding under the Older Americans Act

• Review and comment on policy

• Advise and assist AAAA staff in planning.

Tentative Minnesota Board on Aging Guideline – No officer, employee, owner, or director of an organization that receives Older Americans Act funds from an Area Agency on Aging shall participate as a director or staff for that Area Agency on Aging, nor on an advisory committee to Area Agencies on Aging.
