CCBSA Officers

Officers of the CCBSA are elected annually by the membership.  With the exception of the Treasurer, elected officers assume office at the close of the annual conference at which they were elected, and serve until the next regular annual conference or such other meeting as new officers are elected. The Treasurer serves from January 1 to December 31. The duties of the officers are described in Article VI of the CCBSA Bylaws.

Officers – Statement of Interest

Become a CCBSA Officer!   

Entering the Association Officer ranks requires prospective CCBSA members to complete a Statement of Interest form.  Each year as part of the preparations for the CCBSA Annual Conference, the Executive Committee develops recommendations for the slate of CCBSA officers.  Traditionally, the current officers advance to the next position, with the Treasurer’s position being an “open seat.”  Please take a few minutes to review the Association Bylaws for additional information regarding the roles and responsibilities of each CCBSA Officer. Being an Association Officer is a great way to engage all aspects of our organization!  

To assist the Executive Committee in making a recommendation to the full membership, CCBSA members interested in serving as CCBSA Treasurer in the coming year are requested to complete a Statement of Interest prior to the annual conference. 

Interested?  Please fill out the form today!

 

2026 Executive Committee

The CCBSA Executive Committee consists of the Association Officers and Regional Chairs/Co-Chairs. During the Annual General Business Meeting, each region selects one member to serve as Regional Chair or two members to serve as Co-Chairs. In the event the option to Co-Chair is selected: (a) Each Co-Chair has equal voting rights as a member of the Executive Committee and may vote on behalf of the region in the absence of the other; and (b) Both Co-Chairs may attend any meeting at the same time; however, the region is only allowed one vote. Only one Co-Chair may motion and vote on an item on behalf of the region.
