The board requests that the following recommendations be taken into consideration. The board requests that Jon Wilner be considered for appointment to a second term. He has been actively involved in the implementation of the 2022-27 Master Aging Plan by serving on the Social Participation workgroup. He has been able to assist us in establishing new community partnerships. The board requests that Shahnaz Gigi Rashdi be considered for appointment to a second term.She is actively engaged in the implementation of the 2022-27 MAP and helps bring a diversity perspective to our board. The board has a special request to extend Vibeke Talley's appointment to the board. Mrs.Talley has served two terms on the board.Minimally we would request to extend her appointment for one year,but ideally we would like her to serve another full term. She is the Orange County Senior Tar Heel Legislature delegate. She has done outstanding work in community outreach and engagement and in raising awareness of senior related issues to the NC General Assembly. She is a great asset to the Aging Board. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
