The Community Council of South Central Texas, Inc. Currently has two seats on its board of directors it is looking to fill and is seeking applications from qualified residents in its 31-county service area.
The CCSCT board of directors is designed in alignment with requirements of the Community Services Block Grant. It is a tripartite board consisting of members in the Public Sector, Private Sector and Low-Income Sector.
Members seated in the Low-Income Sector must be first selected through a democratic process, accomplished by placing applicant names on a ballot and conducting the election at the CCSCT Community Services Office within the county the applicant lives in.
This allows low-income clients to have a voice in who represents them.
CCSCT currently has two vacancies on the Board of Directors: one Low-Income Sector seat in which the applicants are not required to be low-income but must have experience working with or understand the barriers and issues low-income people are faced with daily. Experience in early childhood development would be a plus.
The other seat is a Private Sector seat in which the private sector shall draw from officials or members of business, industry, labor, religious, law enforcement, education, school districts, representatives of education districts and other major groups and interests in the community served.
The CCSCT provides services to low-income people in 31 counties throughout the greater southcentral Texas area: Atascosa, Bee, Bandera, Brewster, Comal, Crane, Culberson, Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, Kinney, LaSalle, Live Oak, Maverick, McMullen, Medina, Pecos, Presidio, Real, Terrell, Uvalde, Val Verde, Wilson and Zavala.
Interested applicants should contact Bobby Deike, CCSCT executive director at 830-253-4505 or via e-mail at [email protected].
CCSCT hopes to approve the applicants at the January 26, 2024, board meeting.
