Community Advisory Council

The Community Advisory Council (CAC) ensures that Invest Appalachia’s (IA) investment priorities, organizational practices, and catalytic capital deployments are in alignment with community needs and IA’s founding values. The CAC establishes our priorities for catalytic capital investments, informs impact evaluation practices, and helps shape project pipeline development. The CAC is a community feedback loop between IA staff and the communities in which we all live and work.
