Participating in Board of Director and Committee Meetings

CCOF is a membership organization, and we are proud of our grassroots founding and history. One of our core values is to “maintain openness and transparency and embrace the democratic process”. Discussion during CCOF’s Board of Directors and committee meetings is limited to staff and members of the board and committees. However, we appreciate there may be times when CCOF members or members of the public wish to address the Board of Directors or a committee. To aid our members our or the public in engaging in Board or Committee meetings, CCOF has developed a policy to provide information on how to access CCOF ‘s Board of Directors and Committees including how to request time on the agenda, and what to expect at the meetings. We stongly encourage engagement from our members. Read policy.
