This series of case studies developed by CAPLAW address the various ways that CAAs are meeting the CSBG Act’s requirement that the low-income sector of the tripartite board be selected in accordance with “democratic selection procedures.” These case studies have since been updated to reflect how the featured CAAs adapted their existing democratic selection processes during an emergency.
In addition to profiles of innovative and responsive practices, the case studies contain portions of sample policies and other materials that CAAs can us and adapt to meet their needs.
For another look at how CAAs across the network successfully adapted their democratic selection procedures to conduct recruitment and elections during the COVID-19 pandemic, see CAPLAW’s publication, Preserving the Low-Income Voice: Snapshots of Democratic Selection Procedures.
