The El Dorado County Commission on Aging is an advisory committee to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and the El Dorado County Area Agency on Aging.  Six of the fourteen members are appointed by the Commission on Aging and are community representatives. The Commission on Aging is actively recruiting to fill one community representative vacancy. The Commission focuses its efforts on such issues as:

  • Collaboration with community/senior centers in strategic areas of the County to ensure provision of accessible services to all senior residents
  • Promotion of services that enable seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible
  • Identification and prevention of elder abuse

The Commission strives to attain a balanced geographic representation.  Applicants are being sought from all areas of the County, including South Lake Tahoe.  Preference will be given to those applicants who are 60 years and older.
