Charted in 1965, <br />EOC has provided services to low-income, county residents for over forty nine <br />years. <br />As the Commission may know, Community Action Agencies are the local <br />grantees for Community Services Block Grant, and operate under the <br />Community Services Block Grant Act 1998 Reauthorization, P.L. 105-285. <br />Required by the legislation is a tripartite Board structure; one third elected <br />officials, or their designees, one-third low- income representatives, and one third <br />members of the private/ business community. <br />Annually, EOC is required to document the Commission's appointments to its <br />board. In past years Commissioners schedules have not allow for direct <br />participation and have appointed designees to serve in their place. EOC <br />respectfully request consideration of the following individuals to be appointed <br />for a one-year term: <br />Miriam Gross <br />Jennifer Proper Linda McConkey <br />EOC appreciates your support and looks forward to working together and <br />helping those within our community who live in poverty and move towards self- <br />sufficiency. <br />As required, please find a copy of each individual's resume. <br />Sincerely, <br />, <br />Leonard Edwards <br />Executive Director <br />Voluntary Pre -K Head Start <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />Community Services <br />29 <br />
