We are also very delighted to introduce our CIRC Chairs:
CIRC - Community Investment Review Committee
CIRC Chairs are volunteers who coordinate the overall financial review of each grant applicants along with the budgets for each specific initiative. They coordinate the "report-outs" from all CIRC volunteers on each FAC to the FAC members, provide specific clarification questions for the Site Visit Teams to discuss on their visits, and bring issues for further consideration to our CIRC Directors.
