Development of Advisory Committee

Community Action Agencies act locally to fight poverty.  Citizens of local communities help determine solutions for poverty-stricken Nevadans by guiding the activities of Community Action Agencies in Nevada.

By statute, CSBG-funded agencies are governed by a Tripartite Board / Advisory Board. Community Action embraces the principle of “maximum feasible participation” in their local agency of people experiencing poverty. Community Action Boards are advised by the Office of Community Services (OCS) to include:

• 1/3 people that are low-income
• 1/3 elected officials or their designated representatives
• 1/3 other representatives from business, labor, religious, law enforcement, education and other key organizations.

This unique Tripartite Board structure is fundamental to the Community Action concept.  It involves low-income people in developing responses to poverty and provides first hand knowledge of community issues.

BOARD MEMBERS:

• Government Appointed Representative:
  Brad Goetsch, County Manager

• Business Appointed Representative:
  Lori Capurro, Owner / Operator Anchor Properties

• Low Income Population Appointed Representative:
