The Up-Island Council on Aging board met to discuss planning and priorities Monday, the first in-person meeting since the body was reconstituted following a review of the board’s internal bylaws. High on the list will be to find a replacement for director Joyce Albertine.
The appointment comes after two West Tisbury representatives were found to be in violation of internal council bylaws forbidding more than two consecutive terms.
