The Communications Department serves as support staff to the CAC.
Appointments to the CAC:*
Each member of the Metro Board of Directors shall nominate four public members to the CAC to serve at the pleasure of the appointing Board member. There is no limit to the duration that a CAC Member may serve on the CAC.
