Buckeye Hills Regional Advisory Council Meeting Canceled Feb. 25; Contact Janie Collins

The Buckeye Hills Regional Advisory Council Meeting has been canceled for Feb. 25, 2026." That notice clarifies that the Regional Advisory Council (RAC) session scheduled for Feb. 25 will not take place as planned. The RAC meeting page also states "This meeting is free and open to the public," but organizers have canceled the Feb. 25 date and have not posted a replacement on the event listings.

Questions about the cancellation should go to the program lead: "Questions regarding this meeting should be directed to Janie Collins, Program Development Coordinator at jcollins@buckeyehills.org or 740-376-1039." Janie Collins’ direct phone number and email are listed as the point of contact for attendees or county council representatives who had planned to participate.

For broader Buckeye Hills contact and organizational information, the council provides multiple channels: "To learn more about Buckeye Hills Regional Council, visit buckeyehills.org, call 740-374-9436 or 1-800-331-2644 (toll-free), or email info@buckeyehills.org." Buckeye Hills describes itself as "a council of governments dedicated to improving the lives of residents in southeast Ohio" and says the RAC "serves as a liaison between older adults and their local County Councils on Aging" and that "The RAC is formed of representatives from those County Councils on Aging and other Buckeye Hills appointees."

There is a discrepancy on office location information that local officials and residents should note. Buckeye Hills’ site lists two addresses: "1400 Pike Street, Marietta, OH, 45750, United States" labeled as the "old address," and "2585 Glendale Road, Marietta, OH, 45750" shown on venue and contact blocks along with a site notice titled "We’ve Moved: New Office Opens Monday, February 2." The website therefore includes both an "old address" and a move announcement; the event listings do not explicitly state which physical address would have hosted the Feb. 25 meeting.

Materials supplied with the cancellation also contain a truncated sentence fragment reading "including counties that serve Vinton County int" and do not list a full roster of counties or provide a reason for the cancellation. No source materials provide a rescheduled date, an alternate virtual meeting plan, or an explanation for why the Feb. 25 meeting was canceled. For confirmation of venue, timing or next steps, contact Janie Collins at jcollins@buckeyehills.org or 740-376-1039, or call Buckeye Hills at 740-374-9436 or 1-800-331-2644.
