Board of Directors Election
Four Open Seats for 2023-2025 Term
Co-op Membership Vote
Our co-op members have a voice in the operation of the Cooperative through a member-elected Board of Directors.
Every spring, co-op members elect new board members for two-year terms. Each membership household will place one vote to elect up to four candidates (or all four) who best reflect their values and visions for the co-op. The member-elected candidates will then join our standing board members to represent our community in overall governance.
Online Voting Ballot Emailed to Primary Residents
Poll Closes May 25 @ 6:00 PM
The ballot will be emailed a week prior to the meeting. To ensure one vote per co-op membership household, the ballot will only be sent to the primary email address belonging to the household's primary resident. The primary resident should submit the ballot before the meeting, reflecting the consensus of all household members in their response. Which email will receive my household's ballot?

Two Seats Available for Mid-Term
CTC's Board of Directors can consist of seven to nine members, in which, there are still two seats open for new directors to join mid-term (to be voted in by existing board members, without a member-wide vote). Joining our Board of Directors is a remarkable opportunity to serve and enhance your community with exemplary leadership. Any co-op member in good standing can run for an open board position. We seek board candidates that are passionate about our community with strong leadership skills and a collaborative approach.
Position + Perks
The unique identity of our co-op means that our Board of Directors serve on behalf of the members’ interests by developing governance policies that are consistent with our values and vision. The Board's nine representatives work closely and collectively with the standing committees and management team to establish long-term strategies that both ensure and empower a happy, healthy, and prosperous co-op community.
The average time commitment on the Board is about 5 hours a month, which can vary depending on position and current projects. Board members receive exemption from periodic laundry room cleaning of their ward in exchange for their service. More on CTC's Board.
