These services have been identified by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County's Senior Citizen Advisory Committee, a committee comprised of leaders in the senior community and those who service seniors throughout Cook County. The Committee keeps the Clerk's Office informed of issues of significance to the senior community and offers a forum for the exchange of ideas as to how the Clerk's Office can heighten the awareness of its function and introduce new initiatives to improve services.
