The Penquis Board of Directors rely on three County Steering Committees (CSCs) for insight into local issues and opportunities to solve them. The membership of the governing Board of Directors is also drawn from the CSCs' membership.
Penquis will be holding elections to select low-income representatives to the County Steering Committees. To qualify candidates must be at least eighteen years of age, reside in the area to be represented, and obtain twenty-five signatures from area residents whose income is at or below the currently prevailing federal poverty rate to be placed upon the ballot for election.
To be eligible for a three-year seat on the Penobscot County Steering Committee, you must reside in one of the following towns: Alton, Argyle, Bangor, Bradford, Bradley, Brewer, Carmel, Charleston, Clifton, Corinna, Corinth, Dexter, Dixmont, Eddington, Edinburg, Etna, Exeter, Garland, Glenburn, Greenbush, Hampden, Hermon, Holden, Hudson, Kenduskeag, LaGrange, Levant, Milford, Newburgh, Newport, Old Town, Orono, Orrington, Passadumkeag, Plymouth, Stetson, and Veazie.
Knox and Piscataquis candidates may live anywhere in their respective counties.
Deadline: April 18, 2018
