Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Chair Price: <br /> At the March 8th meeting of the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging they made several <br /> recommendations for board appointments. The board requests that the following <br /> recommendations be taken into consideration: <br /> The board request that Dr. Heather Altman's term be extended by one year. She is the current chair <br /> of the board and has played a vital role in the development of the 2022-27 Master Aging Plan. With <br /> a one year extension this will provide assistance in the implementation off of this MAP and time to <br /> transit the chair role to another board member. <br /> The board request that Vibeke Talley be considered for appointment to a second term. She has <br /> been actively involved in the development of the 2022-27 Master Aging Plan,as well as Chair of the <br /> Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee. <br /> The board request the appointment of Lucinda Poole to an At-large vacancy. She has attended a <br /> board meeting. She is very interested in serving the community and comes with <br /> communication/media experience that would greatly benefit the Orange County Dept. on Aging as <br /> we do outreach to inform the community of the Department's services. <br /> The board recognizes there are still two vacancies and are actively engaged in recruitment to <br /> expand the diversity on the board,including representation from the Asian community and other <br /> communities of color and northern Orange County. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Janice Tyler,Secretary <br /> Orange County Advisory Board on Aging <br /> Visit us online @ www.orangecountync.gov/departments/aging <br /> Like us on Facebook @ www.facebook.com/OrangeCountyDepartmentOnAging <br />
