Boards and Commissions
The PERL program works to diversify county leadership by involving diverse and underrepresented populations in their local governments and other organizations. PERL’s Boards and Commissions is a training program designed to increase involvement of low-income people, people of color, and other disenfranchised groups on boards and commissions across the county.
Goals:
- Prepare trainees from diverse backgrounds to take leadership positions on boards and commissions and ensure authentic participation.
- Empower trainees to participate and become more involved civically in their community.
- Gain skills and obtain the tools necessary to better understand the process, structure, and make-up of boards and commissions.
