October ASURA Board Meeting

A number of items were presented and discussed. Among the more interesting ones are the following.

• Government Liaison Committee – Jeri Meeks
  
  Jeri reported on attending the September meeting of the Governor’s Council on Ageing. The meeting topic was Transportation for Aging Arizonans:  The Current Challenges and Rising Opportunities. There were six panelists and Jeri thought the discussion was great and wondered how many ASURA members were aware of these transportation options. You can read about the options in the meeting report which Jeri prepared,
