The CCC shall be comprised of 11 members. Each member shall be a Martin County resident.

The Board of County Commissioners shall fill any vacancy for an unexpired term. All appointments are made by the Board of County Commissioners.
An Information Release soliciting applicants for the only non-agency member (the Faith Based Organization Representative) was emailed via Constant Contact to the Outreach Martin, Local Media, and past CARES graduates email lists which includes local Chambers of Commerce, local businesses, and citizens (well over 2,600 recipients). The Information Release was also posted to the County’s web page under News.
The first CCC meeting is scheduled for January 15, 2020 at 4:00 PM and will be held in the Growth Management Department Conference Room (Administrative Building).
