Community Advisory Board

PURPOSE of the Community Advisory Board (CAB)
The CAB is a formally designated group of community representatives on whom the Junior League of South Brevard, (JLSB) Inc. can call for assistance and advice on its overall program and/or on specific tasks or functions. The CAB will help educate the JLSB leadership and aid in determining pressing community needs within our focus area. The CAB can also help to identify primary resources of such information.  This can be achieved by competing interests and gaps that the League should be aware of, and the best ways to stay in tune with changing community needs. CAB members can assist JLSB with long-term planning, help communicate the League's purpose and programs to the community and evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs and projects. CAB members can alert the League to training resources within the community and advise us of organizations in the community that naturally fit with our focus that we should be partnering with and how can we ensure that partnerships are mutually beneficial. Additionally, CAB members are encouraged to nominate new candidates for League membership. With the CABs guidance and assistance, JLSB will be better able to fulfill its mission of improving the community. Each CAB members' experience and expertise will round out the talents and skills of League members to affect positive change in our community.

The JLSB maintains a Community Advisory Board of twelve members to advise us on our initiatives within the South Brevard area. As a CAB member, you would provide invaluable insight into possible programs, projects and affiliations that could provide the foundation for sustained improvement in our community. In general, each CAB member serves a two-year term. The terms are staggered such that each year, six members are continuing their association with us, and six members are joining the Community Advisory Board.
