The Office on Aging was established by
Chapter 261, Acts of 1975 as an inde-
pendent agency to consolidate and coor-
- dinate all efforts concerned with the prob-
- lems of older Marylanders. Its predecessor
of agency was the State Coordinating Com-
mission on the Problems of the Aging
- created by Chapter 1, Acts of 1959. The
name of this agency was changed to the
, Commission on the Aging by Chapter 595,
. Acts of 1971. In 1974, by Executive Order,
the Governor established the Governor's
Coordinating Office on Problems of the
i Aging. The creation of the Office on Aging
as a cabinet-level agency resulted in the
, merger of the Commission on the Aging
staff with the Governor's Coordinating Of-
fice on Problems of the Aging. The Com-
' mission on Aging was reassigned as both
an advisory and policy-making board to the
Director of the Office on Aging
The Director of the Office on Aging is
s appointed by and responsible to the Gov-
s ernor. The Director's actions are subject to
the advice, council and approval of the
3 Commission on Aging. The Office is divided
into two divisions: the Community Services |
