I am co-host on Aging Well Together community <br /> radio program in Orange County. I have my own talk show (Afternoon Talk With Alicia) on <br /> community radio in Orange County. My passion is discovering needed services, <br /> programs, and funding that impact older adults in Orange County. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> Currently serving on the Passmore Advisory Board and MAP <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Advisory Board on Aging <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> My background is Health and Human Services. Attending various colleges and getting course <br /> certifications gave me understanding in society s demands for better services, programs and <br /> conditions for my aging community. My experience and knowledge about what services, <br /> programs, and funding can impact older adults reminds me that I have to be in a position to <br /> unpack information and make known what our communities offer as we all age. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> Changes and factual information that has not reached aging adults as our communities <br /> continually arise with growth making communicating sometimes an issue. I hope to help make <br /> our systems in place have better solutions for offering what it takes to allow all of the changes <br /> that come about available to our community. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> Diversity issues in our communities can be addressed when we have a communication structure <br /> that brings our changes and differences to awareness. I'm a Black woman and can share my <br /> views as to what imbalances are known in many communities. Not being a spoke-person , but <br /> relatively known differences. <br />
