CNO BOARD MEMBERS ARE ESSENTIAL VOLUNTEERS
CNO BOARD SERVICE
We strive to maintain between eight to fourteen Board Members, who serve two-year terms. Board candidates are voted on by eligible CNO members during the annual General Membership meeting. However, you may nominate yourself at any time and attend one of our bi-monthly CNO Board Meetings.
Community members interested in advancing their candidacy for board service must complete a Board of Directors Nomination Form HERE, at least 5 business days prior to the annual General Membership meeting. Pleaser review the Role Description HERE before proceeding.
Serving as a Board Member means that you help direct the affairs of the organization, inform policies and procedures, and partner with the staff and key contractors in supporting the programs, events, and collaborations that enliven CNO’s work.
WHY SERVE?
CURRENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SAM is a comic artist and an encyclopedia of random animal facts. They also enjoy books, video games, and camping! They chose to serve because they thought they could offer some perspective as a queer, trans, mixed native disabled person on the Corcoran Board.
CHRIS is Wisconsin born. He has lived in Minnesota for the last 18 years, and he and his wife have lived in Corcoran for the past four years. He works in marketing for The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and likes to bike around the city trying to find the best burger in town!
SIMON has lived in the Corcoran neighborhood with his family since 2006. His family operates a small zoo with their dog, Ladyslipper. During the day, Simon works in human resources at HCMC. He enjoys recycling and composting and has adopted several storm drains.
MATT has called Corcoran home since 2012, where he resides with his partner, cats, and backyard chickens. In the daytime, Matt works for the Lake Street Council, supporting small businesses throughout the Lake Street corridor. He enjoys walking and biking to destinations in and outside of the neighborhood.
CHLOE began her board service with CNO in 2018. She lives on 31st and 22nd Ave south, working with Inquilinxs Unidxs in the Sky without Limits Cooperative. She believes that board service matters for nonprofits like CNO because it gives communities a voice, engages the community, and builds relationships.
