Florence resident Simone Kelsh has been appointed to the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging. Simone is a resident of Florence and has been an avid supporter of senior services in the Florence community, and will be able to bring first-hand knowledge of what is needed for seniors to the council.
The Governor's Advisory Council on Aging (GACA) is a statewide body of fifteen members appointed by the Governor to serve three-year terms. The Council's mission is to enhance the quality of life for older Arizonans. The Council advises policy makers and state agencies and works with local communities, private enterprises and older adults across Arizona to accomplish its mission. GACA monitors and develops programs and policies that affect older adults, but does not provide direct services.
