For all of us, CAC sustainability is top of mind these days. And, we are grateful for the many ways you strengthen the capacity of CACs every single day. Our collective efforts to secure and sustain funding have become even more imperative as CACs and Chapters have experienced more frequent volatility and uncertainty in their funding.
We invite you, CAC and Chapter Leaders, to learn more about strategies identified and prioritized the local, state, and federal levels by our field, so that our collective future planning can be well-informed and collaborative.
