“Our Office for the Aging does an amazing job providing outstanding programs for our senior citizens.  The Annual Public Hearing provides an opportunity for seniors to learn about the services offered, comment on current programs, offer suggestions for improving services, and share ideas for additional programs that would be beneficial to seniors,” said County Executive Mike Hein.  “I urge seniors to attend the hearings and I look forward to their valuable comments and contributions.”

Shelley Wagar, Director, Ulster County Office for the Aging (UCOFA)

“The UCOFA annual public hearings are vital to the operational programming of the agency,” said Shelley Wagar, Director of the Office for the Aging.  “The UCOFA depends on the feedback of our seniors, both positive and critical, to continuously improve our services and programming.  One of the comments we hear frequently is to hold more events in the outlying areas of the County. So, to that end, we have arranged to have three sites for our public hearings so that more seniors from all over the County may attend and provide us with feedback and information. UCOFA encourages seniors to attend one of the three hearings. It is an honor and a privilege to serve Ulster County seniors and we want them to know this and to hear from them!”
