Here’s what MACA members are saying:
"Since joining the Community Action Agency Network over 12 years ago, I have relied on MACA time and time again to provide information, support, training and coordination of events. Through professional alliance meetings I am able to network with my peers to stay informed of new programs and initiatives in our service arena, and the meetings provide a platform to generate ideas for innovative programs."

“Being a member of MACA gives me a feeling of satisfaction personally and professionally. MACA is the megaphone aimed at policymakers to ensure the issues faced by low-income individuals are heard. All members, from the front line staff to the lobbyists, are united in the goal of ending poverty.”

We share and learn from other community action agencies across the State through association with professional alliances, functional and certified leadership-oriented trainings that support the vision -- moving people out of poverty."
