CCI’s Executive Board 2020-2021 Board Turnover

CCI is currently looking for new members for our Executive and Working Board for the 2020-2021 term. The mission of the CCI Board is to lead, guide, operate, and plan for CCI, and its projects and programs, in accordance with our core mission statement, values, and bylaws. The CCI Board is an Executive Board that governs CCI according to its official bylaws and ensures that regulations are followed and that the organization is run in fulfillment with its mission. The CCI Executive Board is responsible for participating in important votes that happen frequently at its regular board meetings and act as an official sanction for the Board to move forward on certain decisions. At the same time, the CCI Board is also a working board, meaning that members have active responsibilities for CCI from day-to-day. It meets twice a month over video chat, on the first and third Sunday of every month from 9-10 PM EST, as well as demands about two to three hours of work outside of board meetings
