About Us
The Community Advisory Committees (CACs) are part of Mayor Tim Kelly’s One Chattanooga Plan to strengthen community engagement and services in our Community Centers. CACs allow the City of Chattanooga to openly communicate and engage with local communities through our Community Centers. By working together, we can leverage our strengths and resources to meet immediate needs, address systemic issues, and build for the future.

Our Divisions
Community Advisory Committees (CAC) are composed of neighborhood stakeholders who serve as stewards and advisors to nine Chattanooga communities. CACs are composed of residents, business/property owners, faith leaders, area workers, and community youth. Each of the nine communities are represented by a nine-member committee, appointed by Mayor Kelly, City Council representatives, and Community Center staff. The nine communities are broken into regions which cover multiple neighborhoods across the city. CACs are community-based committees focused on improving neighborhood outcomes.
Responsibilities
The primary Division goal of the CACs is to work collaboratively with the Community Center Managers to discuss and implement programs and services that citizens who live near our centers want to have available.
