Sierra County Resource Leader
The ORC has identified a community leader from each county to serve in a “Resource Leader” role for the ORC project. Community leaders often possess a deep understanding of local needs and challenges. They have their finger on the pulse of the community, which allows them to identify pressing issues and gaps that require attention. Their insights help ensure that projects are relevant, effective, and tailored to meet the specific needs of the people they serve.
