The majority of members must be persons with disabilities living in both urban and rural areas in the county
VANCOUVER – The Clark County Council is seeking volunteers to serve on the Clark County Accessible Community Advisory Committee or CCACAC. The advisory committee is tasked with advising policy makers on the needs of persons with disabilities both in general and in emergency planning.
Two of the new members will be two-year terms, and the remainder will be split between one- and two-year terms.

Parents of children with disabilities also are encouraged to volunteer to serve on the ACAC.
The ACAC responsibilities include:
- Advising policy makers on access to programs, services and activities, new construction or renovation projects, sidewalks, other pedestrian travel, and disability parking enforcement.
- Applying for grants to fund projects that will improve awareness, acceptance, inclusion and access for people with disabilities.
- Developing local initiatives and activities to promote greater awareness of disability issues and acceptance, involvement and access for persons with disabilities.
