County Executive Isiah Leggett is seeking applicants to fill eight vacancies on the Commission on Aging. Four incumbents are eligible to apply for reappointment. Applicants must be County residents, and seniors and non-seniors are encouraged to apply.
Serving as an advocate on behalf of older persons in the County, the Commission advises the County Executive, the County Council and various Montgomery County Departments on the concerns and needs of seniors.
Members serve three-year terms without compensation. Meetings are held the fourth Thursday of each month at 401 Hungerford Drive in Rockville from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Commission members are expected to serve on a committee of the Commission as well. Each committee meets on the average of once a month, generally during the day.
Applicants of diverse backgrounds, professions, gender, geography, disability and ethnicity are encouraged to apply. An application, consisting of a brief cover letter and resume, should be sent by mail to County Executive Isiah Leggett, 101 Monroe Street, 2nd Floor, Rockville, MD 20850, or by email to countyexecutive.boards@montgomerycountymd.gov.
Home and employment addresses, as well as contact phone numbers and email addresses should be included. If appropriate, applicants should indicate the position for which they are applying. The deadline for application is November 30.
Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time. Members of this Commission are eligible for reimbursement for travel and dependent care for meetings attended. Leggett’s appointments are subject to confirmation by the County Council. Applications of those selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process.
