New head of JABA introduces herself to Council

A nonprofit agency that promotes healthy aging in the region has a new leader, and the last person who held that role introduced her replacement to City Council on February 3.

Judith Selzer was named to the position last month as reported at the time.

“She comes to us with about 20 years of nonprofit experience and then several years as an executive coach,” said Marta Keane, the former CEO. “She brings enthusiasm and passion and we’re really excited to continue the wonderful work that JABA does.”

Selzer said Keane has been an amazing mentor and she thanked Council for their support of programs to assist with seniors and programs to support elder care.

“You have been investing in this community for quite a while and I look forward to continuing to partner with you,” Seltzer said.

2025 marks the 50th year of JABA, which was created as the Jefferson Area Board for Aging.
