Our Board of Directors

USAging’s governing body is a member-elected Board of Directors, comprised of two Board members and two alternates from each of the ten federal regions, as well as two Board members and two alternates at-large representing the Title VI Native American Aging Programs. Board members, with the exception of the Title VI representatives, are elected by USAging members in that region and serve three-year terms. Title VI representatives to the Board are elected by USAging-member Title VI programs nationwide and serve three-year terms.
