Board of Directors

Community Actions utilize a unique tripartite board structure. It is composed of one third democratically elected low-income individuals who reside in our area of service, one third chosen from major groups and interests in the communities served, and one third elected officials.

This means that each of our counties has three board members as well as different consultants.

Remedies and complaint filing deadlines vary by program or incident.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the state or local agency that administers the program or contact USDA through the Telecommunications Relay Service at 711 (voice and TTY). Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.

To file a program discrimination complaint, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, AD-3027, found online at How to File a Program Discrimination Complaint and at any USDA office or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form.
