The Shawano County Commission on Aging is looking to fill two upcoming vacancies. Applications are due before 4:30 p.m. March 11.
The commission oversees the Shawano County Department on Aging and reports to the Shawano County Board of Supervisors. The seven-member committee meets every other month to approve departmental financial and program reports, make policy decisions on older adult county issues and plan for future needs.
Three members of the commission are County Board supervisors appointed by the board chairman. The other four members are county residents selected by the commission and submitted to the board chairman for appointment.
Residents at least 60 years old constitute at least 50 percent of the membership on the commission.
The vacancies are for a member at large from anywhere within the county and for a member from the western district, which includes the townships of Aniwa, Hutchins, Birnamwood, Almon, Bartelme, Red Springs, Wittenberg, Morris, Seneca, Germania, Fairbanks, Grant and Pella.
The two new members are expected to be appointed in May.
The commission meets every other month, usually in Shawano, for a daytime session. Members receive a meeting stipend and mileage reimbursement.
