CAP Services, Inc. submits the following corrective action plan for the identified finding for the audit period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022: Finding 2022-001 Tri-Partite Board Composition As stated in CAP's bylaws, the composition of CAP's Board of Directors requires tri-partite representation from three sectors: low-income community, community at large, and public elected officials. CAP is the locally designated community action agency for five counties. The Board composition includes four members from each county and one member elected by CAP's Head Start Policy Council for a total of twenty-one members. One-third (7 of 21) represent each of the three sectors. In 2022, CAP experienced two unexpected resignations of low-income representatives during the course of the year and retained the remaining nineteen members. As a result of the vacancies, the one-third representation was not met as the remaining members were actively engaged in their respective seats (average 90% participation). Recruitment was ongoing and several low-income community members expressed interest in the seats, however, the continued uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic was a challenge and a barrier. Corrective Action Plan for Future: ? CAP's Governance Committee will take a more active role in recruitment and retention of Board members. ? CAP's executive team will maintain a list of interested candidates and send regular communication to keep candidates engaged and ready if a seat becomes available. ? CAP's bylaws will be reviewed for consideration of shifting designated seats to offer more flexibility that will better ensure at least one-third low-income representation when unexpected vacancies occur. ? CAP will consult with other community action agencies and the National Community Action Partnership to explore best practices related to recruitment of low-income representatives. As of the date of this letter, CAP's 21-member Board of Directors is fully seated and meets the tri-partite board requirement.
