Advisory Groups

The CPC seeks the consultation of our university and community partners to guide us in developing local and regional program areas and projects, and to assist us in creating opportunities for our national programs to be beneficial to our own community.

In 1994, the CPC established a Community/University Advisory Council which has served to guide the CPC as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC).

In 2002, we expanded the Advisory Council to assure ongoing dialogue with our community and university program partners.
