Board Election Notice
Each year in May, CCA holds an election for our Board of Directors. There will be 3 open positions. 2 of the requirements to be considered as a CCA Board member are:
Potential candidates must attend a minimum of two (2) regular CCA Board meetings during the nine (9) months prior to the April Board meeting. The February & March Board meetings are eligible meetings for this requirement.
Potential candidates must interview with at least one (1) current Board member prior to the nomination form submittal deadline (between March 27 - April 10, 2023).
The candidate forms and biography forms will be shared in March 2023. For the complete Election Procedure Packet please see attached.
An Important Message from the PTO
We will discontinue live streaming our monthly PTO meetings in March 2023. Our goal is to have our meetings return to in-person community gatherings where we can get to know each other and share ideas. Our agendas and minutes will continue to be available online for those who are unable to attend.
Let CCA Know!
We want to hear from you! What is going well? What questions do you have? Interested in joining a committee or getting involved some other way? Please let us know here and we will work to address your questions in upcoming newsletters and/or in 1:1 communication. Fill out this form!
