Southwick’s Select Board has made a decision on who will serve as the director of the town’s Council on Aging. After interviewing three candidates, they have chosen Lisa Anderson, a longtime town employee. Paula LeBlanc, the chair of the Council on Aging, publicly supported the decision, stating that they wholeheartedly endorse Lisa for the position.
The Select Board made the decision during their meeting on Monday night, with Select Board Chair Jason Perron asking council members if they had a preference for the position. Lisa Anderson’s experience as a longtime town employee likely played a role in her selection for the role, as her familiarity with the town and its community could benefit the Council on Aging.
The position of director of the Council on Aging is an important role within the town, as it involves overseeing programs and services for the elderly population. With Southwick’s aging population, having a capable and experienced director is crucial to ensuring that the needs of seniors in the community are met.
Lisa Anderson’s appointment as director of the Council on Aging will likely bring stability and continuity to the position, as she is already familiar with the town and its residents. Her selection has been positively received by the Council on Aging, and it is expected that she will excel in her new role. Southwick residents can look forward to continued support and services for their elderly population under Anderson’s leadership.
