Press release from the City of Boulder: February 24, 2021 The Age Well Advisory Committee members make recommendations to help City Council and city staff better understand and respond to matters that impact older adults. The committee advises and makes recommendations regarding the quality of life and needs of older adults with a focus on diversity, inclusion and equity; supports strategic planning; and gives advice on programs and services. "The committee members also help us to develop collaborative opportunities with community groups, which has been especially valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Eden Bailey, manager of Older Adult Services. "The committee helped the city collaborate with gardening and sewing groups that helped to feed folks and makes face coverings when they were in short supply." The Age Well Advisory Committee consists of seven members selected by the Older Adult Services Manager and approved by the Director of Housing and Human Services for three-year terms. The committee is currently meeting virtually, once a month.
