There are several vacancies on Clark County’s 12-person Community Action Advisory Board that makes recommendations about government funding for basic needs, self-sufficiency and housing.
Open seats on the volunteer board include elected officials from the county’s 2nd and 3rd districts, community representatives from the 1st and 4th districts and low-income representatives from the 2nd and 3rd districts.

The board meets 8 a.m. every other month at the Center for Community Health on Fourth Plain Boulevard. Terms are three years, and members can be reappointed for two additional terms.
