Staff and Board
Current Staff and Board Members
Staff of CCCSDC cover a wide array of cultural backgrounds and even countries of origin. All are experts in their field. Crucially, all staff must exhibit a desire to work with low income, disenfranchised clients regardless of race, religion and gender in a way that is consistent with our philosophy of respect and empowerment.
