BOARD of DIRECTORS
As mandated by federal legislation, a tri-partite board of directors governs Tompkins Community Action. Its nine members represent the target sector (low-income), private sector and community sector. Target sector representatives to TCAction’s Board of Directors are also elected from the Policy Council. The TCAction Board meets monthly on the second Thursday at 6pm.
