Board Meetings

The St. Martin Council on Aging, Inc. will hold its Annual Membership meeting on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. at the Sydnie Mae Durand Activity Center located at 391 Cannery Road, Breaux Bridge. Elections for the SMCOA Board of Directors will be conducted and Administrative staff will provide the annual financial report and important information on services offered to seniors in the parish.

Members and non-members can attend this meeting. What’s the difference? Non-members are allowed to participate but are not allowed to vote at the annual meeting; nor can they serve on the Board of Directors.

Not a member? Membership is open to all residents of St. Martin Parish who have reached the age of majority. There are no membership fees and sign up is easy – just fill out a membership card. Membership cards may be picked up at the Sydnie Mae Durand Activity Center located at 391 Cannery Road in Breaux Bridge or contact SMCOA at (337) 332-3063 to request that cards be mailed.

Membership cards must be received by SMCOA no later than Wednesday, September 4, 2024.

1) contact Mr. Allan D. Clark, Chairman of the Board Development/Nominating Committee, via SMCOA at (337) 332-3063 or
