CCFAC: Membership Roster

At least once annually, at the last meeting of each year, the co-chairs will review the current membership with the full CCFAC and develop a plan to fill vacancies as needed

An initial commitment of two years is requested. Members may participate as long as they choose provided they are able to attend and participate consistently and fulfill their role.

The co-chairs are elected for a minimum two-year term.
