The California State Fair is now accepting applications for its Cultural Advisory Council.

The Cultural Advisory Council, or CAC, enhances the outreach efforts of the Cal Expo Board of Directors and staff in cultural communities throughout the state.

The CAC also advises the board on matters pertaining to California State Fair multicultural programs related to education, entertainment and other activities.

Applicants to the CAC should be leaders from diverse cultural communities throughout California and represent a variety of interests and expertise in the areas including, but not limited to: agriculture, arts, community services, education, entertainment, finance, health, government, law enforcement, legal, media, marketing, small business and youth.

Upon completion of that term, a member will have the opportunity to apply for reappointment by the board for up to two additional, consecutive terms of three-years each and one final two-year term after a one-year break.

Qualified candidates should fill out the application form located online at http://CAStateFair.org/Cultural-Advisory-Council.
