Clark County is seeking applicants to fill several positions on the volunteer Community Action Advisory Board, which makes recommendations about local government funding for basic needs, self-sufficiency and housing programs.
Board members also advocate for services supporting low-income communities, families and persons at local, state and federal levels.
Positions include low-income representatives from the county’s third and fifth districts and a community representative from the county’s fifth district. Clark County’s fifth district includes Yacolt, Ridgefield, La Center and most of Battle Ground.
