Box 81181 <br /> Hillsborough,NC 27278 <br /> Dear Chair Hamilton, <br /> At the March 10th meeting of the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging we reviewed the <br /> attendance records of the board. <br /> We have two board members,Shahnaz GiGi Rashdi and Jerry Ann Gregory that are in violation of <br /> the attendance policy. Both persons have been valuable members of our board and to the <br /> community that we serve. They have each experienced health challenges over the past year that <br /> necessitated some missed meetings. They are both engaged in the work of supporting older adults <br /> in Orange County and are active participants at the majority of meetings,each making unique <br /> contributions that the board would sorely miss. <br /> As an advisory board serving and primarily made up of older adults,we recognize the importance <br /> of showing)up and are working on balancing higher medical comorbidities than younger volunteers. <br /> We have reviewed the requirements are dedicated to continuing the work. <br /> We would hike to request that GiGi and Jerry remain on the board. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> JW <br /> Dr,Tracey Holsigner,Chair <br /> Orange County Advisory Board on Aging <br /> Visit us online www.orangecountync.gov/departments/aging <br /> Like us on Face ook @ www.facebook.com/OrangeCountyDepartmentOnAging <br />
