Aging Advisory Council (AAC)
The Aging Advisory Council (AAC) of the Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) was created as a voluntary, unincorporated association by resolution of CAPCOG to assist the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in managing the provision of social services under the Older American's Act of 1965, as amended. The Council's primary responsibility is to assist the Capital Area AAA in development, implementation, review and update of an area plan to serve the elderly of the region.
The Aging Advisory Council meets quarterly on the first Monday of February, May, August, and November.
If you have concerns about issues facing older adults in your community, please contact an Aging Advisory Council member serving your county through the Area Agency on Aging. Toll free 1-888-622-9111.
