Opening on Advisory Council for Sourcewise (Area Agency on Aging) The Advisory Council for Sourcewise (Area Agency on Aging for Santa Clara County) has an opening for a representative of the City of Sunnyvale. This is an opportunity to join a group of dedicated and knowledgeable individuals working for quality aging and disability services in our county.
Sourcewise provides direct services and funding for programs that support older adults, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities in Santa Clara County. Meals on wheels, nutrition programs, legal advice, Alzheimer’s day care, health insurance counseling, and information and referral services are some of the services provided or funded by Sourcewise. Programs focus on those who are most vulnerable and of greatest need.
The Advisory Council consists of about 35 members, including those who represent the diverse cultural and ethnic communities, senior organizations, and cities and supervisor districts within the county. The Council meets 10 times a year to learn about the latest programs of Sourcewise, discuss activities of the Council, and learn from guest speakers of current needs and issues facing older adults and individuals with disabilities. Members also serve on committees of the Council that advocate for specific needs, such as transportation, legislation, and health, or support the work of the Council, such as planning and membership.
This is a volunteer position. The requirements are to be a resident of and representative for the City of Sunnyvale, to be 60 years or older (preferred), and to be a dedicated advocate of supportive services for the aging and disability populations.
If you are interested in representing the City of Sunnyvale on the Sourcewise Advisory Council, please contact the City Clerk or Advisory Council Membership Co-Chairs Shirley Loffer, [email protected], or Tom Picraux, [email protected].
