Board of Directors

Community Actions utilizes a unique tripartite board structure. It is composed of one-third democratically elected low-income individuals who reside in our service area, one-third private sector representatives for the communities served, and one-third elected public officials.

This structure ensures that every voice is represented and helps us stay grounded in the needs and strengths of our communities.

Each of the counties in our service area is represented by three board members, along with supporting 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.
