Anyone in the community who participates in one of our Impact Tables is considered to be a member of the Cabinet. However, the Cabinet’s designated Core Leadership Team is responsible for overall oversight and program management. This team includes 19 individuals living and/or working in the Carbondale community, representing diverse backgrounds and interests. Eleven of these members represent key sector partners. Seven members come from the community at large.
The Cabinet values diversity and strives for its membership to be reflective of the diversity of the community in terms of race, school districts, family composition, and geography.
