Leadership Elections

ELECTED POSITIONS

CoCo members who reside in North America are eligible to run for election to be Executive Director or a member of the Board of Directors. The Executive Director leads the organization. The Board is the principal decision-making and governance body. To learn more about each role, as well as other opportunities to advance the CoCo mission, visit our Leadership page. All elected Board Members serve two-year terms. The Executive Director serves a one-year term.

Registration to be a candidate in the 2024 election cycle runs from Nov. 18, 2024 through Nov. 30, 2024. People elected to leadership positions in this election cycle will begin their terms on Jan. 1, 2025. This cycle, we expect to elect candidates to fill three seats on the Board, in addition to the Executive Director position.

What position interests you?

You can run for one or both positions. If elected to both Executive Director and Board Member, you must choose one role in which to serve. To prevent concentration of power in one person, you can't serve in both roles at the same time.
