About the Commission
The Howard County Commission on Aging is a 15-member volunteer advisory board to the County Executive, County Council, and the Howard County Office on Aging. The commission strives to ensure that all adults 55 and older can "age in place successfully and productively," and can remain in the county as long as individuals choose, in an affordable, safe and convenient living situation.
Commissioners are nominated by the County Executive and confirmed by the County Council for five-year terms. They represent diverse professional backgrounds, various age and ethnic groups, and many geographic areas of the county. Many work on behalf of seniors.

Commission meetings are held the fourth Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Ellicott City Senior Center. Meeting dates and times are published in local newspapers, and are available from the Office on Aging, 410-313-6410.
