The Marin County Commission on Aging is a 23-member federally mandated advisory
council to the Marin County Board of Supervisors. The Commission works closely with
the Aging and Adult Services on behalf of Marin’s older adults. Commissioners are
appointed to three-year terms by either the Board of Supervisors or the 11 incorporated
cities and towns in Marin. In addition, Marin County's Senior Assembly Member and
Senior Senator, representatives of the California Senior Legislature (CSL), also serve as
ex-officio members for a four-year term. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each
month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at various locations throughout Marin.
