OUR COVERAGE

Local Interagency Councils

Each Interagency Council is formed by local seniors, professionals and organizations which meet to discuss issues affecting them in the community. While they act independently of each other, they send representatives to our Borough-wide meetings and BWICA provides technical support as needed.

 

Community Activity

BWICA and its members belong to many groups and coalitions which advocate for the rights of senior citizens and families.  We work together in a collegial manner, trade information, participate in projects, and advocate for positive change in the community.
