Notice of November Meeting Cancellations
The San Bernardino County Senior Affairs Commission (SAC) announces that the November 2026 General Session meeting and all standing committee meetings have been canceled.
Due to scheduled facility improvements at DAAS-PG Administration, the conference rooms normally used for SAC meetings will be temporarily unavailable during November. The General Session and all standing committees will resume their regular meeting schedules on Wednesday, December 16, 2026.
We appreciate the public’s understanding and look forward to reconvening in December.
The Senior Affairs Commission will enact the following changes to the SAC standing committee meeting schedule, effective October 21, 2026:
- Integrate the Access Committee into the Legislative Committee. Access issues with regards to legislation will be included on the committee’s agenda.
- Integrate the Healthy Aging Committee into the Nutrition Committee. Healthy Aging topics with regards to nutrition will be included on the committee’s agenda.
- Integrate the Intergenerational Committee into the Executive Committee. Intergenerational updates and topics will be included on the committee’s agenda.
Meeting location and frequency:
Department of Aging and Adult Services-Public Guardian Administration
784 E Hospitality Lane
San Bernardino, CA 92415
Meeting times:
Legislative Committee: 9 – 10 a.m.
Nutrition Committee: 10 – 11 a.m.
Executive Committee: 11 a.m. – noon
General Session: 1 – 3 p.m.
Standing committees whose goals and composition are similar have been combined to improve the organizational structure of the commission. While the change may seem small, its impact is significant and will enable the continued growth and evolution of the commission, benefit community engagement, and thereby strengthen societal connections while improving the lives of the people the commission represents through its advocacy.
The commission enacts these changes for the following reasons:
Time: Many commissioners provide caregiving services, volunteer with other community organizations, serve on various boards and councils, and/or travel extensive distances to attend meetings in person. As a result, some commissioners may miss valuable information, resources, and presentations that could benefit their constituents. This change will also allow DAAS-PG support staff who travel to attend meetings more time each month to attend to their individual workloads while fulfilling departmental goals and contributing to San Bernardino’s countywide vision.
Efficiency: By consolidating standing committee meetings, information can be disseminated more quickly, and the meetings will have greater value for attendees, particularly members of the public and other guests. This will also enable the commission to perform its duties with greater efficiency, with the necessary support from DAAS-PG support staff, leadership, and executive team members.
Participation and Attendance: Attendance at standing committee meetings has historically been affected by distance and other factors. The commission believes that these changes will increase meeting attendance and promote communication and cooperation among all parties.
Resources: By holding less meetings once a month, the resources utilized by DAAS-PG to support the commission may be minimized or redirected for other purposes.
For more information, or if you have questions or concerns, please call the Clerk of the Commission, Michelle Torres at (909) 891-3917 or email DAASSAC@hss.sbcounty.gov.
