Commission on Aging & Disabilities
Mission Statement
The mission of the Carroll County Commission
on Aging & Disabilities is to represent the Bureau
of Aging & Disabilities and to advocate for the
needs of Carroll County’s older adults, people
with disabilities, and Veterans to ensure they
receive the highest level of service, assistance,
and programs.
The Carroll County Commission on Aging &
Disabilities is a panel of 16 volunteer citizens
appointed to rotating three-year terms by
the Board of County Commissioners. The
Commission serves as the advisory council to
the Carroll County Bureau of Aging & Disabilities
(BOAD) under the Older Americans Act of 1965,
as amended. The Commission assists the elected
officials and the BOAD in gathering public
opinion, providing educational and advocacy
opportunities; and representation at events with
a focus on the needs of older adults, individuals
with disabilities, and Veterans in our community.
As such, many Commission members are active
in senior and disability related organizations at
the local, state, and national levels. This enables
the Commission to have a large resource of
information on key issues and their impact on
Carroll County citizens and policies.
The Commission is comprised of residents from
various communities throughout Carroll County.
There are representatives from many of Carroll
County’s municipalities as well as agencies:
• Adults with Disabilities
• Eldersburg
• Hampstead
• Health Department
• Manchester
• Mt. Airy
• New Windsor
•Senior Inclusion Program at Westminster
Senior & Community Center
• Sykesville
• Taneytown
• Union Bridge
• Veterans
• Westminster
The Commission is led by a Chair with assistance
from a Vice-Chair and numerous committees and
area and special interest representatives.
The Commission meets every other month
(January, March, May, July, September, and
November). COAD’s meeting are open to the
public. Date, time and location are posted on
the Bureau’s calendar online or you can be
added to the email distribution list by calling
410-386-3800.
