Iona’s Citizens Advisory Council

Established in 1981, the Citizens Advisory Council is a group of fifteen to twenty volunteer leaders committed to providing informed advocacy for senior citizens. It seeks to draw more attention and resources to the needs of senior citizens, including their need for opportunities to continue to contribute to society. More specifically, the CAC’s official mandate, from Iona and in its role as a Mini-Commission on Aging, is “to serve older persons by identifying and seeking to satisfy needs and gaps in services, promoting collaboration and networking among groups concerned with the elderly, and keeping the community as well as older persons themselves informed on aging issues.” Current priorities of the CAC are the priorities and available resources of the DC Government to serve older citizens, aging in place, transportation, and the continued engagement of seniors in society as employees and/or volunteers.

With a primary but not exclusive focus on northwest Washington, the CAC’s primary resources are its important affiliation with Iona Senior Services, and the energy, time and contacts of its members. We are currently seeking new CAC members, to complement the existing strong core group and to bring new contacts and ideas.
