        Community Action Programs, Inc.

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize those
institutions which have faithfully served the needs of the community and
its citizens with unwavering diligence, unrelenting  compassion,  and  a
strong  sense  of  commitment  to  upholding  the  highest practices and
standards in their field; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commemorate  the  60th  Anniversary  of  Adirondack   Community   Action
Programs,  Inc.,  to  be celebrated at a conference on Friday, March 28,
2025; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Committee  for   Economic   Improvement,   Inc.   was
established  in 1965 as a Community Action Agency to serve the needs and
advocate for all people in Essex County; the agency changed its name  to
Adirondack  Community Action Programs, Inc. (ACAP) in 1999; ACAP assists
families to become more self-sufficient  through  programs  designed  to
help them in meeting their goals; and

  WHEREAS,  Adirondack  Community  Action  Programs, Inc.'s mission to
connect people, values and resources to promote personal,  economic  and
community growth; and

  WHEREAS,  Adirondack Community Action Programs Inc.'s offerings have
provided vital services, including  early  childhood  education,  family
support, senior services, and community development initiatives; and

  WHEREAS,  The  agency  no  longer  focuses  on  the number of people
served,  but  instead  measures  success  by  the  positive  changes  in
individuals   and   the  community;  ACAP  prioritizes  recognizing  the
strengths  and  values  of  people,  as   well   as   fostering   strong
relationships  with  families;  their  success  is  determined  by these
outcomes, which also help secure continued funding; and

  WHEREAS, Adirondack Community Action Programs  and  other  Community
Action  Agencies  have worked for 50 years to continue to respond to the
pressing problems faced by low-income people across  the  nation,  while
seeking  new  and  innovative  ways to combat the causes, as well as the
effects, of poverty; and

  WHEREAS, The success of Adirondack Community Action  Programs,  Inc.
is  in  direct  correlation to the efforts of its Board of Directors and
its various members and volunteers, whose involvement is, and always has
been,  characterized  by  an   impressive   commitment,   an   unbridled
enthusiasm,   and  an  uncompromising  standard  of  excellence  in  all
endeavors on behalf of the organization and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, It is  with  great  pleasure  that  this  Legislative  Body
acknowledges  this  exceptional  institution  and  its  vibrant  role in
improving the quality of life in its community, fully confident it  will

continue  to  enjoy the same sparkling successes it has experienced thus
far; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate  the  60th  Anniversary  of  Adirondack   Community   Action
Programs, Inc.; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
