Committee for Community Involvement | Washington County, OR

The CCI plays an important role in ensuring that the voices of the community are considered when decisions are being made.

Since 1973, the CCI has provided a direct line of communication between residents and county government and has been dedicated to the success of community participation in government decision-making processes. The CCI is a vital part of the Washington County CPO Program, which is made up of 17 Community Participation Organizations (CPOs) led by volunteers with a membership from the communities they serve.

CCI membership consists of two representatives from each recognized CPO. Per the CCI bylaws, additional members may participate based on these distinctions:

Each CPO is allowed two CCI alternates.
Inactive CPOs are allowed two CCI reps, as approved by the CCI.
CCI reps are allowed from communities of interest.
CCI subcommittee chairs may also participate as CCI reps.

CCI subcommittees focus on specific areas of community interest. You can volunteer to participate in a subcommittee by emailing the CCI Leaders at [email protected]
