C. 28204 i300 BAXTER ST. 704/372-~416 August 15, 1977 Mr. S. Glenn gawfield, Jr. 85 Washington Lane, SE Concord, NC 28025 Dear Mr. Hawfield: As you may know, the Region F Aging Advisory ~ommittee consists of eighteen members who meet bi-monthly to advise the Area Agency on Aging staff and the Executive Board of the Centralina'Council of Governments on matters relating to services'for older persons in Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburgl Rowan, Stanly and Union Counties. The Aging Advisory Committee is involved in Area Agency activities in many ways as depicted in the attached Exhibit from the Area Plan for Fiscal Year - 1978. The Advisory Committee was established to comply with Federal Regulations (attached) which requires that 50% (nine members) of the Committee be actual older (60+) con- sumers of services. Furthermore, older (60+) minority older persons must be repre- sented on the Committee in the same proportion as they exist in the general popula- tion. In Region F this regulation means that three Aging Advisory Committee members must be minorifiy older persons. Four persons from Mecklenburg County and two persons from the remaining seven counties are appointed to the Committee for two yea~ terms. The County Cot~nissioners and the Council on Aging each make one appointment. In Mecklenburg County, however, they each make two appointments. Terms run concurrent with the fisdal year beginning October 1. The two year terms of County Commissioner's appointees begin in October of even num- bered years. The two year terms of Council on Aging appointees begin in October of odd numbered years. The present terms of the Council on Aging appointees are coming to an end. This neces- sitates that present members be reappointed or new appointments be made. There are also vacancies which need to be filled by the appointees of County Con~nissioners. A list of vacancies is attached for reference. The two appointing groups may wish to coordinate their efforts in order to insure that suitable appointments which fulfill membership needs are made. Title III or Title VII Project Directors may be quite helpful in suggesting potential appointees.
