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. A Chair
leads the Commission with assistance from a ViceChair and numerous committees and area and
special interest representatives.
The Commission meets every other month (January,
March, May, July, September, and November).
COAD meetings are open to the public. Date, time
and location are posted on the Bureau’s calendar
online. You can be added to the email distribution
list or if you are interested in serving on the
Commission please contact COAD’s staff liaison by
calling 410-386-3800.
The Americans with Disabilities Act
applies to the Carroll County Government and
its programs, services, activities, and facilities.
Anyone requiring an auxiliary aid or service
for effective communication or who has
a complaint should contact
