    DeKalb County Community Action Department (DCCAD) is the Community Action Agency for DeKalb County. Community Action Agencies (CAA) are nonprofit organizations established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight America's War on Poverty. Community Action Agencies help people to help themselves in achieving self-sufficiency. Today there are approximately 1000 Community Action Agencies, serving the poor in every state as well as Puerto Rico and the Trust Territories. Since 1968, local community action agencies have been required to have tripartite governing boards to gain and retain designation as eligible entities and to receive CSBG funding. The tripartite board is to be comprised of 1/3 public officials (people who have been elected), up to 1/3 private sector (local business leaders, educators, etc...) and at least 1/3 low-income individuals. Each of these three groups has unique perspectives and insights that help to shape the programming and services of the CAA. Effective tripartite boards reflect and promote the unique anti-poverty leadership, action, and mobilization responsibilities assigned by law to Community Action Agencies. Boards are responsible for assuring that agencies continue to assess and respond to the causes and conditions of poverty in their community, achieve anticipated family and community outcomes, and remain administratively and fiscally sound.

     

    Some of the requirements for being a Board Member are:

    1. Regular attendance at board and committee meetings (full board meetings are held in the DeKalb County Community Outreach Building,                Conference Room West unless otherwise noted.  Meetings are held bi-monthly on the 2nd Monday at 8:30 a.m. unless otherwise noted.                  Additional meetings will be scheduled as necessary; committe meetings are scheduled as necessary);

    2. Gain thorough familiarity with DCCAD information, such as the agency's bylaws, articles of incorporation, sources of
        funding, agency goals and programs, Federal and State CSBG statutes;

    3. Careful review of materials provided to board members;

    4. Decision-making based on sufficient information.

     

    If you are interested in serving as a CSBG Board Member, or if you have more questions, please call Deanna Cada at (815) 899-4960 or e-mail her. Thank you.
