Advocating for Columbia’s Seniors

Seniors are a distinct and active population in Columbia, and the Aging Well in Columbia Advocacy Committee works to advocate for their best interests in the community.

This committee is looking for representatives from Dorsey’s Search, River Hill and Oakland Mills! Contact your respective village to apply as each village has its own procedure to appoint its representative.
