Life Span Statement

The Senior Advisory Board is a standing board which meets monthly.  Board members will reexamine their purpose every three years.

Membership

The Senior Advisory Board will consist of seven board members, one of whom the Town Council designates as chairperson. Initial appointments will be staggered with a mix of one, two, and three-year terms, with all future appointments made for three-year terms. Members should be seniors or involved with senior services.

Meetings

The board meets monthly at 12:00 p.m. and requires approximately 2 hours per month for meetings and study time prior to meetings. Board members may also be expected to spend time outside of their regularly scheduled meetings for related work which may include, but is not limited to, working in smaller work groups, research, and community outreach and education.

All meetings are open to the public. Visit the Town's Web calendar to see a monthly listing of all Town of Cary public meetings, agenda and to confirm meeting dates, times and locations. More information on the board can be found in its annual report or in the SAB rules of order.
