Subcommittees
To accomplish this goal effectively and efficiently, PAC
utilizes a subcommittee structure to foster effective communication and
collaboration among diverse organizations and community systems. Currently
there are four (4) active subcommittees:
The Foreclosure
subcommittee is lead by Chairperson Lisa Thompson
Bennett, Consumer Outreach Liaison for the Attorney General’s Office. Its
goal is to develop a more effective strategy to communicate information to
families about foreclosure counseling and prevention. For more

The Juvenile Justice
subcommittee is lead by Chairperson Gregory Gaither, a

Juvenile Justice subcommittee’s mission is to collaborate with other
community stakeholders in building a community service network to support
youth involved in the justice system.

quality of education, increase grade point averages, encourage parental
involvement, reduce risk factors, and promote positive behaviors among our
youth.

Board is lead by Chairperson Dr. Lena Hatchett,
