"To deliver a range of social services driven by community needs and legal mandates which are guided by quality, effectiveness, accountability and efficiency."
|

The Community Social Services Advisory Board (CSSAB) is appointed by the County Board and is responsible for making recommendations to the County Board on policy and funding of all social services for Olmsted County.
The Community Social Services Advisory Board will represent the citizens at large and will advocate to the County Board for the balanced program of social services for residents within the financial resources (internal/external) of the County.
Annually, the CSSAB develops the Social Services Community Assessment, which evolves from; reviewing unmet needs, testimony from the public hearings (held the 2nd Wednesday in May), written testimony and work groups identifying concepts and strategies.
