Akron City Council approved a resolution confirming two appointments to the Commission on Aging, voting 10 to 0. The resolution named Mary D and Abigail Morgan to the commission and was presented by Councilwoman Davis, whose committee reported favorably.
Supporters at the meeting cited the nominees’ experience working with older residents. A speaker identified one candidate as a new executive director of Direction Home and said Mary D has worked with an organization referenced as Asia Inc; both were described as experienced in aging-related issues.
