HELP US WITH NEW MEMBER RECRUITMENT

We have begun exploring new members to join the Collective and need your help to identify potential members. The vetting process includes the CCEOC leadership team reviewing potential members using the criteria below (designed by the membership working group), submission of recommendations to the CCEOC Governing Board with a statement of case for the reason for selection, and the Board presenting nominated members to the membership body for any additional knowledge, items to consider, or major objections.

Please forward the names of any individuals you believe should be considered for membership and why you think they should be considered (aligned with the outlined criteria) to Elizabeth as soon as possible. Please note, aligned with #3 on our criteria matrix, we are especially interested in female candidates.
