Local Councils
Nevada's Local Councils
Local representatives from various Nevada communities have formed councils to continue their own work through Local ECACs. Local ECACs are critical as they directly serve many of Nevada’s rural and tribal communities, as well as Nevada’s vulnerable families. Each Local ECAC has an important role in its local community, serving as a vital part of achieving the objectives and strategies of the 2025-2030 Nevada ECAC strategic plan.
Examples of local council activities and accomplishments can be found in the bi-monthly Partner Reports. Click below to view the reports.
