Senior Advisory Commission

Overview

The primary function of the Senior Advisory Commission is to serve as an advocate for Healdsburg’s older adult residents by:

• Identifying the needs of Healdsburg senior residents
• Advising the City Council, City boards, commissions, and departments, as well as private agencies on matters related to those needs
• Creating / increasing awareness of those needs among the broader population
• Disseminating information to seniors on services available to them

City Council established the Commission by Resolution 15-2022.
