Andover, MA Commission on Disability (ACOD) Mission

The Andover Commission on Disability is a committee of thirteen volunteers recommended by the Town Manager and appointed by the Select Board for a three-year term.

The majority (7) of the commission members must have a disability or be directly related to a person with disabilities.

              Our Mission and Goals:

  • We advise and assist town officials in addressing the needs of people with disabilities & in ensuring compliance with state and federal disability laws.
  • We advocate for the full inclusiveness and participation of people with disabilities in the town of Andover.           
  • We sponsor projects aimed at helping people with disabilities.
  • We provide information and referral to people with disabilities.

Meetings:

We meet at least once each month at 6:30 P.M. in the Memorial Hall or the activity room at Memorial Hall Library. Meetings are normally held on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Currently, we meet virtually using Zoom. See Calendar: https://andoverma.gov/, and Agenda for details: https://andoverma.gov/Calendar.aspx?EID=7105&month=4&year=2023&day=23&calType=0
