Board of Directors Meetings
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services/Aging & Adult Services Agency (AASA) TRANSMITTAL LETTER #2021-448: Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Official AASA Guidance on Open Meetings Act (OMA) Policy Waiver AASA COVID-19-111, dated April 23, 2021, states that AASA is waiving the requirement that AAA policy boards operate under the requirements of the Open Meetings Act (OMA) as specified in the Operating Standards for Area Agencies on Aging. This policy waiver is limited to support COVID-19 response. Specifically, this waiver is only applicable to the requirements of Operating Standards for Area Agencies on Aging and does not waive OMA requirements that an AAA may be subject to because of other legal or organizational considerations. As a non-profit agency not subject to legal or organizational OMA considerations, other than that posed by AASA, as permitted by TRANSMITTAL LETTER #2021-448, and in response to current public health concerns posed by gatherings of people, AAANM will continue to hold AAANM Board of Directors meetings remotely until further notice. We encourage remote participation. Anyone wishing to give public comment will need to connect to the meeting via Zoom video and/or call in and their microphones will be muted until they are called upon. This call may be recorded. The Zoom meeting ID and password or call-in information can be accessed by request by calling Darcia at (800) 442-1713 or email at [email protected].
