Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Chair Bedford: <br /> At the February 14th meeting of the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging they made several <br /> recommendations for board appointments. The board requests the following recommendations to <br /> be taken into consideration: <br /> The board is requesting that Colin Austin's term be extended by one year. He is the vice-chair and <br /> with the current board chair, Heather Altman,rotating off the board in June the board needs his <br /> leadership expertise for at least an additional year. <br /> The board is requesting that Jacqulyn Podger be considered for appointment to position#7. She is <br /> the new chair of the Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee. She has been both a volunteer <br /> and in paid employment in aging services in our community. She will be a great asset to the Aging <br /> Board. <br /> The board would like to request that Rachel Bearman be appointed for a second term. She has been <br /> actively engaged in the Master Aging Plan work including the development of the 2022-27 MAP and <br /> is now working on implementation with the Community Support and Health Services workgroup. <br /> And finally,the board is requesting the appointment of Dr. Michael Joseph to Heather Altman's <br /> position#11 when her term ends on June 30, 2023. Dr.Joseph comes with extensive experience in <br /> aging related services. He is an active volunteer in our community and would make a great addition <br /> to the Aging Board. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of these requests. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Jam yler,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 />
