Speaker

The Community Action Organization provides conference, seminar, and meeting speakers on a variety of topics of interest to Erie County residents. We provide this service at a nominal fee to community and other non-profit organizations.

Our speakers provide a service to your audience that is insightful, educational, and often challenges them to become more involved. We are ready to discuss the issues of interest to your club, church, civic/community, or professional organization. Contact us for more information on scheduling a CAO speaker for your next event.

PROGRAMS AND MEDIA

The C.A.O. Programs and Media Division is responsible for linking the agency to communities throughout Erie County. We utilize various public and neighborhood events to inform residents of the services that are currently available through the CAO. At CAO events, department staff is on hand to answer questions and take applications on the spot. Brochures and supportive information are also available for consumers to take home for reference.

You can also access CAO programs through our media services where you can see and hear about Community Action News five times a Week!!!!
