United Community Action Partnership is governed by a passionate, dedicated, and hardworking group of community members.
Community Action Agencies (CAAS) have a tri-partite board system that is composed of one-third representation from the consumer sector (low-income individuals and families in their community), one-third representation from the public sector (elected officials), and one-third representation from the private sector (representatives of business, industry, labor, faith-groups, law enforcement, education and other groups and interests in the community).
Board members play an important role in guiding the agency and assisting people living in poverty. Board members represent the interests of the community and provide a perspective that is respectful of the people they represent. If you are interested in serving on the board of United Community Action Partnership, working to eliminate poverty by empowering individuals and strengthening your community, contact United Community Action Partnership at 507-537-1416.
