CAA Board
CAA HISTORY: The original Economic Opportunities Act of 1964, which provided for the establishment of community action agencies, specified that all plans and programs of a community action agency must be developed and implemented “with the maximum feasible participation of the residents of the areas and members of the groups served.”
CAA BOARD: To this end, the Blount County Community Action Agency has a governing board comprised of public, private and low-income sectors of the community. The BCCAA board consists of one-third local public officials or their designees, one-third representatives of low-income persons, and the remaining one-third is chosen from business, labor, religious, law enforcement, education or other groups in the community.
