The nominations for these two positions will take place in the next two weeks, and the elections period will stay open for three weeks, following the nominations.

So far there has been one nomination and seconding for Co-Chair, Catherine Easton. However, we request other nominations for Co-Chair by posting the nomination to the list. And the nominations must be seconded by one other.

·      Invite nominations for both Co-Chair and Steering Committee Member. Each candidate provides a short profile statement to include a short bio as pertains to their intended role in the Coalition, as well as a short statement of how they will work towards the Coalition’s continued success and development.
