Advisory Councils

Community Advisory Councils are citizen groups that assist the Community Health Director and other CCCH staff in planning and implementing effective behavioral, physical health and public health programs for the citizens of Clackamas County. The Board of County Commissioners actively seeks citizen participation from Clackamas County residents on these boards. We strive to ensure that the advisory councils represent Clackamas County’s population demographics, including a balance based on geography, expertise and ethnicity. If you would like to participate in one of our citizen advisory councils, please call Karen Erwin at 503-742-5310.
