A crisis creates a multitude of unprecedented challenges for any organization. One of the challenges that spurred CAAs to innovate was the need to recruit and elect representatives of the low-income community to serve on the tripartite board during an emergency.

This collection of snapshots highlights CAAs’ experiences and outcomes, which we hope will assist other CAAs with community engagement and tripartite board compliance throughout an emergency, and beyond.
