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. In 2024, this meeting will be held on Thursday, September 19th from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm.
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.
