Community Action Partnership of North Alabama

We are excited to share some fantastic news about Nathan Curry, a valued member of our team at Community Action Partnership of North Alabama (CAPNA). Nathan was recently contacted by State Senator Sam Givhan and Representative Rex Reynolds with news of his appointment to the Madison County Judicial Commission Committee. This is an honor and a significant responsibility, and we are proud of Nathan for taking on this role. The Madison County Judicial Commission plays a crucial part in the judicial appointment process within Madison County, Alabama. The committee is tasked with interviewing attorneys and providing recommendations to Governor Kay Ivey, who then makes appointments to fill circuit and district judge vacancies in the county. As a committee member, Nathan will contribute to ensuring that qualified individuals are nominated to fill these important judicial positions. Nathan’s appointment to the Madison County Judicial Commission Committee is set to last until May 8th, 2029, and he is looking forward to contributing his expertise to this nonpartisan body. He was nominated by Representative Rex Reynolds and was confirmed by the Alabama House Judiciary Committee. The commission consists of eight members, each playing an essential role in maintaining the integrity and excellence of the judiciary. Nathan is no stranger to public service. Nathan also served as the President of the Madison County School Board. However, in the Fall of 2024, he announced that he would not seek re-election to the board, stating, “There is a season for everything, and in November 2024, my season on the Board of Education will end.” Nathan’s dedication to community service has been evident since he was, and this new appointment marks another exciting chapter in his continued service to Madison County. We are proud to have Nathan as part of the CAPNA team, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will undoubtedly have in his new role on the Madison County Judicial Commission Committee. Please join us in congratulating Nathan on this prestigious appointment and for his ongoing commitment to serving his community. #CAPNA #Congratulations #JudicialCommission

At Community Action Partnership of North Alabama, we are constantly inspired by the dedication and growth of our team members. Today, we take a moment to express our deep gratitude to Aron Boldog, our Director of Real Estate Development, as he transitions to a new chapter in his career. Aron’s journey with CAPNA began in 2013 when he joined our team as a member of the Facilities Team within the Children’s Services Department.

While we will certainly miss his leadership, we are excited for the future and know that Aron will continue to make a profound impact in the field of real estate development.
