Who belongs to the Senior Center Council?

The Senior Center maintains at least 90 activity groups for its membership. One member from each group is a voting member of the Council and may run for Council office. The president of the Council is also a voting member on the Board of Directors. Any member of the Senior Center is encouraged to attend Council meetings and participate in discussions.

How are the meetings structured?

The Council meets on the first Monday of each month at 1:00 p.m. The Executive Director and staff members give monthly updates to the Council on the results of recent events and plans for future activities. Thus the Council receives a comprehensive status of the Senior Center to pass on to their activity groups and in turn to the Senior Center membership in general. There are also periodic reports from the activity group representatives, Board of Director members, special guests, and others. Another purpose of the meetings is to discuss topics concerning Senior Center objectives and to exchange ideas to meet this objective. Any member of the Senior Center may bring up a subject for an agenda item.

Continuous improvement program

The Council functions as a communications conduit to insure that the plans and objectives of the Board of Directors are passed on to the membership. In addition the council works with the membership to provide solutions and support for the Senior Center's objectives.
