Board of Directors
Lev BenEzra is the Executive Director of Community Action Pioneer Valley. An eighteen-member Board of Directors governs the organization.
The community we serve elects five of these individuals. They represent the lower income communities of Franklin and Hampshire Counties. Our other Board members represent public officials and local private businesses and organizations.
The elected members of our Board fulfill an important CAPV value: people who have experienced poverty should get to decide how to address it. We can only end poverty if our whole community works to do so. Our Board of Directors works to represent the whole community.
