The TCOA Consortium Board is a cooperative intergovernmental body composed of elected officials (or their designees) including representation from the Lansing Mayor's Office, Lansing and East Lansing City Councils, and the Clinton, Eaton and Ingham County Commissions. |

Acting in an advisory capacity to the Consortium Board is the Tri-County Office on Aging Advisory Council. At least one-half of the council consists of senior citizens, appointed by their respective units of government. Remaining members represent community agencies, which serve senior citizens. The Consortium Board approves their appointments. This composition offers the perspectives of both seniors and service providers on aging issues. |
| FRIENDS FOR LIFE COORDINATING COUNCIL The Friends For Life Coordinating Council, was formed to help raise local dollars to supplement public funding by planning and organizing annual fund raisers, such as a raffle, golf outing and direct mail appeals. They are a key part of increasing private sector awareness and support for TCOA. |
