CAC directors and board members are responsible for the oversight of the program. Some CACs are nonprofit organizations and have a board of directors, while others may be part of a larger umbrella organization, with a CAC advisory board. Please find a few resources to assist with the management of the CAC, including strategic planning, succession planning, and more.
