Two seats on the Northwest Senior Services Advisory Board will be open for appointment this June.

Members are appointed by the Island County commissioners, and positions carry three-year terms which may be renewed by mutual agreement.

The advisory board is part of the Northwest Regional Council which serves as the Area Agency on Aging for Island, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom Counties. It plans services for seniors and people with disabilities who need assistance caring for themselves and relies heavily on input and assistance from volunteers.

Board meetings occur on the third Thursday of most months, with exceptions during the summer and holidays, and are usually held in Anacortes or Bellingham. Applicants for the current position must be residents of Island County.

Applications may be obtained by contacting Pam Dill, (360) 679-7353 or by email at pamd@co.island.wa.us. Deadline is May 18.

For details, call Pat Elwell at 360-676-6749 ext. 1024 or email at elwelpf@dshs.wa.gov.
