One seat on the council is still open: At-Large 3, which any South Carolina resident who knows the issues older adults face can apply for, including people in Irmo.

Meeting agendas
Tap a meeting for a summaryWhy the list has gaps: the law says the council meets at least once a quarter, but the state only posted agendas for these meetings. I checked every week of the Legislature’s public meeting calendar back to late 2019. Meetings referenced in the agendas, such as February 2025, August and November 2024, and November 2025, were never posted there. Meetings are usually at 10 a.m. at the Department on Aging, 1301 Gervais Street, Suite 350, Columbia, and are open to the public. Minutes can be requested from the Department on Aging. For news between meetings, see the Department on Aging’s Facebook and YouTube below.
