About

 
 

As a private, not-for-profit organization, Cattaraugus Community Action, Inc., is locally governed by a 15-member Board of Directors.  In accordance with federal law, the CCA Board is comprised of three sectors: the Community Sector, the Public Sector, and the Private Sector.  One of the original themes of the Community Action movement, dating from the mid-1960’s, is “maximum feasible participation of the poor.”  To that end, representation of low-income persons is critical in policy making decisions on the local level.
