Gathering Planning Committees
Local Events Committees
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the activities of the organization, distribution of funding and making major policy decisions. The officers are elected and have a two-year term limit while other positions are appointed by the board or committees. Our events and Gatherings are created entirely by self-selected volunteer planning committees and not by the Board of Directors. Officers are elected by our voting members during the Annual Members’ Meeting.
The next scheduled regular CMG Board of Directors meeting is to be determined. Please contact the CMG secretary for any Board meeting questions you may have.
