As a private nonprofit corporation, Blue Valley Community Action Partnership is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board meets eight times a year at different locations within the service area. The Board of Directors has a tripartite structure, which is a requirement for all Community Action Agencies nationwide. One third of the board represents the low-income community consumer sector), one-third represent local elected officials (public sector), and one third represent the general community (private sector).
Currently, BVCA Partnership receives funding through the federal Community Services Block Grant to serve nine Nebraska counties.
The nine counties have been divided into three regions. Regions are designated as follows:
(a) Region I includes Butler, Polk and York Counties (b) Region II includes Gage, Saline, and Seward Counties (c) Region III includes Fillmore, Jefferson, and Thayer Counties.
The Board of Directors consists of six Directors from each region designated and each region has three alternate Directors.
Petitions for Representation. A low-income individual, community organization, or religious organization, or representative of low-income individuals that considers its organization, or low-income individuals, to be inadequately represented on the Corporation’s Board of Directors may submit a petition for representation to the Board. The petition must be signed by at least twenty individuals, unless the President determines that it is appropriate to waive this requirement in a particular case. A written statement of the Board’s action on the petition shall be provided to the petitioning individual or group (and, if required by law, regulation or government funding source policy, a copy of the statement shall be sent to the appropriate government funding source(s)). Should it decide to provide representation to the petitioning organization or interest, the Board shall take any actions necessary to provide that representation while ensuring that the Board’s composition meets the requirements set forth in the Corporations’ bylaws.
