Sector Chairs/Co-chairs 

The CAC Sectors are a very important way for agencies serving similar demographics to network, collaborate and work together strategically. They are also primary means of communication between service providers and the Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF). Sector Chairs and Co-chairs facilitate timely communication and consultation between each Sector and the CAC and CHF.
