The City of Bellevue is on the lookout for new members to join its Network on Aging. According to the city's official announcement, applications are being accepted until the end of October, specifically by Thursday, Oct. 31.

The Bellevue Network on Aging aims to give seniors a voice, making sure their needs are heard and addressed. They promote awareness and build partnerships to support older adults, helping them navigate life’s transitions. The Network plays a crucial role in ensuring that Bellevue's seniors have fulfilling golden years. Aspirants must apply online via the Network on Aging page by the given deadline and it's worth noting that over half the members must be over the ripe age of 50.

Joining the Network on Aging requires a commitment of 6 to 12 hours a month for three years. Participants engage in outreach, policy advocacy, and collaboration to support older adults. To qualify, there must be a connection to Belleville, whether through living, working, or serving the senior community. If selected, members will be part of a group where more than half have firsthand experience with the challenges of aging.
