Rules Committee appoints Eleanor Lurie to Commission on Aging Advisory Council
Summary
The Rules Committee approved Eleanor Lurie’s appointment to the Commission on Aging Advisory Council, citing her decades of work in gerontology, community-based elder services and prior advisory roles; the confirmation passed without objection.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee unanimously appointed Eleanor Lurie to Seat 1 of the Commission on Aging Advisory Council at its June 9 meeting.
Lurie, who described herself as first vice president of the advisory council and a District 2 representative, told the committee she holds a Ph.D. in gerontology and has worked on transitional care, mental health services for seniors and community needs assessments, including research at the University of California San Francisco and grant work with organizations now known as Lifeway Senior Health Services. She said she revised the council’s site‑visit evaluation form and chaired the bylaws committee in 2015.
Committee members praised Lurie’s community connections and experience. After brief public comment in support, Supervisor Eric Marr moved to appoint Lurie; Supervisor Malia Cohen seconded and the committee took the motion “without objection.”
Lurie said she hopes to serve as a liaison from the advisory council to the proposed Dignity Fund if that measure appears on the November ballot and expressed interest in continuing research‑informed contributions to the council’s work.
The appointment fills a single seat with a term ending March 31, 2018, as noted in the item’s filing. The committee did not record a roll‑call vote; the motion was approved by unanimous consent.
