Comité Consultivo Comunitario

Our Community Advisory Committee ensures that every community’s voice is heard.

What is the Community Advisory Committee?

San Diego Community Power’s Community Advisory Committee, or CAC, includes two community representatives from each of the seven communities that we serve. The committee’s role is to advise our Board of Directors, ensuring that the voices of our local communities are represented in the Board’s decision making process. The CAC meets monthly, and all meetings are open to the public in-person or virtually. For more information on upcoming CAC meetings, visit our Meetings & Agenda page.
