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.

We are grateful to all our TCAction Board of Directors and Head Start/Early Head Start Policy Council members who have provided thoughtful and dedicated service to the agency from our grassroots beginnings in 1964, through the incorporation in 1966 and today.
