Clark County Seeks Elected Official for Community Action Advisory Board Position

Clark County is seeking an elected official from the fifth district to join the Community Action Advisory Board (CAAB). The county manager wants to bring in new voices and fresh perspectives to this volunteer role. The position comes with a three-year term starting immediately, running until December 31, 2027. If selected, you can serve up to two additional terms of the same length, according to Clark County's announcement.

The CAAB is a 15-member board that influences local government funding for essential services, self-sufficiency programs, and housing. They're vocal advocates for low-income individuals, speaking out at local, state, and federal levels.

Clark County is seeking individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints, and they're extending a hand especially to people of color and individuals from communities that have been given the cold shoulder or just haven't had the resources they need. The CAAB is especially interested in hearing from individuals who come from historically under-resourced communities or have faced oppression. 

To apply, send your application and resume to Abby Molloy at Clark County Community Services. You can mail them to P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000, or email them to [email protected].
