The MAP Steering Committee was formed and guided the activities of the three functional subcommittees: (1) Well/Fit Older Adult, (2) Disabled /Moderately Impaired Older Adult and (3) the Severely Impaired /Institutionalized Older Adult and the four identified broad issues subgroups (Information/Access, Housing, Transportation and Transitional care) in identifying the issues and arriving at the final goals, objectives and strategies. Pat Sprigg and Florence Soltys were appointed co-chairs of the MAP Steering Committee and guided the planning process from the kick-off orientation meeting on December 1, 2005 to the final MAP presentation to the BOCC on May 3, 2007.
