CPAC has a strong leadership role in providing advocacy for Camden County Human Services. This advocacy involves local, state and federal government, funding sources and institutional bodies.
Because CPAC stays attuned to the needs of Camden County, it can effectively present the community's interest to state and local officials, agencies and work to create community solutions.

Many times CPAC and the HSAC are called upon to fulfill an advocacy role. For an agency, it might be negotiating for a different level of service or for funds not received. For a group of agencies, it might be to advocate for a change in departmental policy. For a target population, we might need to be in an adversarial position regarding the state budget.
