The Senior Citizens Advisory Council (SCAC) advises the Orange County Board of Supervisors and the Office on Aging on matters affecting senior citizens in Orange County.
Structure
The council consists of forty volunteer citizens, including local elected officials, representatives of health care and supportive service provider organizations, persons with leadership experience, and the general public. At least half of the Council must be older adults. The Board of Supervisors appoints twelve members, the California League of Cities appoints ten members, and the Council itself appoints the remaining eighteen members. The Council has three standing committees and an Executive Board.
