The Commission on Elder Affairs (“COEA”, “Commission”) was created to act as an advisory board to the Department of Senior Services. Since its inception in July 1992, the Commission has worked to communicate the contributions of elder citizens and advocate for this population group throughout the community at large. Fulton County Department of Senior Services serves as the Secretary of Record of the Commission on Elder Affairs.

The purpose of the COEA is to (a) advise the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, the Fulton County Department of Senior Services, and the Community in general regarding the needs of elder citizens, (b) to assist the Department of Senior Services in the resolution of problems brought to it by elder citizens or other concerned citizens, and to (c) to improve through various means of advocating, the community’s awareness of the capacity of elder adults and/or their concerns.
