Did you know that the Bay County Department on Aging has an Advisory Board that meets every other month and is open to the public?

Meetings are held at the Department on Aging’s main office located on the 2nd floor of the Bay County Building, at 515 Center Ave. Meeting dates are Thursdays, January 22, March 19, May 21, July 23, September 17, and November 12- 11am to 12pm.

Bay County Commissioners appoint a representative from their district every two years. There is an application process, and applications can be completed online. 

The Committee’s main responsibility is to visit the Activity Centers and bring back any questions, ideas, and concerns to our meetings. The Committee visits a site together for lunch following each meeting.
