The county manager is seeking applicants to fill two positions on the volunteer Community Action Advisory Board.

Positions are for low-income representatives from the county’s third and fourth districts. The third district is bounded on the south and west by the Columbia River and on the north and east by Northeast 78th Street west of Interstate 205 and Northeast 18th Street west of Northeast 164th Avenue. The fourth district encompasses Camas, Washougal, Brush Prairie, Battle Ground, Yacolt and unincorporated areas in east Clark County. See the county district map.

Both terms begin immediately. The district three vacancy is filling a term ending Dec. 31, 2023; the district four term ends Dec. 31, 2022. Incumbents have the opportunity for re-appointment to two additional three-year terms.

Low-income representatives are defined as any person who is nominated by a group who is low-income such as tenants of a low-income housing complex or an agency that predominantly serves people who are low-income such as Council for the Homeless, Share, NAMI, etc.

The 12-member board makes recommendations about local government funding for basic needs, self-sufficiency and housing programs. Members also advocate for services supporting low-income communities, families and persons.

Clark County is looking to diversify the board composition and encourages people with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to apply, especially those from historically oppressed or underserved communities.

Interested residents must submit an application and résumé to Rebecca Royce, Clark County Community Services, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000 or rebecca.royce@clark.wa.gov.
