From the Executive Director
Cynthia L. Croom
Executive Director Thanks the City of Nashville
It is both my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the
Metropolitan Action Commission web page. I hope you will find
the information helpful in understanding our services as well
as providing opportunities for how you might volunteer. On
that note, last year volunteers provided more than 1 million
dollars worth of volunteer hours to our agency.
In recent years Metropolitan Action Commission has had the
same goals of providing exemplary service to our customers;
employing well trained and dedicated staff that cares about
our customers; and being good stewards of the public trust
in all we do. Our goal simply is to be an organization of
excellence.
Although we are often referred to as a Social Service Agency,
that distinction is not entirely correct. The Metropolitan
Action Commission was established as and remains a Community
Action Agency, focused on anti-poverty initiatives. Our primary
responsibility is to assist residents of our county in moving
out of poverty through the various programs we administer.
Through the hard work of over 300 staff we assist children
and families, elderly and disabled individuals to have a better
quality of life. We hope you will take the opportunity to
learn more about us.
In closing I’d like to share our Community Action Promise and invite you to join with us and our
other partners in carrying it out.
Community Action Changes peoples lives, embodies a spirit
of hope and makes America a better place to live. We care
about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping
people help themselves and each other.
Best regards,
Cynthia Croom
Executive Director
