About the Commission on Aging

 







 




*   The

    Commission on
     Aging

    was organized in 1975.

*   Our main goal is to provide services that help senior
     citizens remain living safely at home.

*   Family members and other caregivers benefit from
     Commission on Aging coordination and information.

*   The Commission on Aging works closely with other
    organizations serving senior citizens to provide
    quality and coordinated care.

*   The Commission on Aging is governed by a fifteen
    member volunteer board, the majority of whom are
    senior citizens 60 years of age or older.
    Members are appointed by the Grand Traverse
    County Board of Commissioners.

*   Activities are overseen by Grand Traverse County
    Board of Commissioners.

*   The Commission on Aging is funded, almost solely,
     by a small local millage (0.5 mills in 2010).

*   The Commission on Aging is a tax-exempt organization.

*   The Commission on Aging has an endowment fund that
     was established with the Grand Traverse Regional
     Community Foundation in 1999.
