Jennifer Robinson Recognized as National Association of Regional Councils President

At last month's CPRC Board of Delegates meeting, Delegate Jennifer Robinson (Cary) was recognized for her service not only to CPRC, but as the Past President of the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC). NARC serves as the national voice for regions by advocating for regional cooperation as the most effective way to address various community planning and development opportunities and issues.

Delegate Robinson is the second individual to serve as President on the National Association of Regional Councils from the Central Pines Region, preceded by Jonathan Howes, Town of Chapel Hill Mayor. She also led, CPRC as its Board Chair from 2014-2016 (then known as Triangle J Council of Governments). Representatives from Central Pines and NARC expressed their appreciation and gratitude to Delegate Robinson for her continued leadership, as well as Cary Mayor Harold Weinbrecht.

Seeking New Members for Senior Tar Heel Legislature

Are you passionate about issues facing older adults? Are you driven by a need to raise your voice on behalf of older adults, in advocacy with like-minded people? Are you eager to use your skills and do the work of learning deliberating, and advocating in your community and with North Carolina's legislators?

Perhaps you are stirred by personal experiences with older adults, or have witnessed unfair treatment, violations of dignity, gaps in supportive services, exploitation, ageism, neglect, or marginalization of the aging. If so, you might find an outlet for these passions by joining the North Carolina Senior Tar Heel Legislature. To inquire about appointment as an NCSTHL delegate or alternate, contact Central Pines' Area Agency on Aging (toll-free at 800-310-9777) or email aging@centralpinesnc.gov.
