LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus, the designated Area Agency on Aging serving Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties, seeks dedicated individuals to join its Advisory Council.
The council, a requirement under the Older Americans Act, provides advice on issues concerning older adults and Older Americans Act programs. Council members play a crucial role in advocating for the interests of older people, identifying service gaps, and influencing policies and programs that affect older people.
The council meets five times a year (in person or via Zoom if preferred) and offers opportunities to engage with local, state and federal elected officials, make community presentations, and testify at public hearings.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
