People Engaged in Raising Leaders (PERL)

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.
