Community Advisory Committee

MeHAF has a 19-member statewide Community Advisory Committee (CAC). Committee members provide guidance and professional expertise to the Foundation’s operations.  The founding members of the CAC were selected by the Maine Attorney General after soliciting broad public input.  Candidates for the CAC are now reviewed by MeHAF’s Board and CAC Development Committee and nominations are approved by the Board of Trustees.

The CAC is charged with guiding the Trustees in the conduct of a periodic needs assessment and any other issues relating to the activities of the Foundation. The CAC’s initial charge was to solicit appropriate nominees for the first Board of Trustees.  CAC members may be candidates to serve on the Board of Trustees when a vacancy occurs.

Members of the CAC actively participate as members of the Foundation’s committees, including the Committees on Grants, Finance, Strategic Planning, and Board and CAC Development.
