CWCF is seeking nominations for its board of directors. Serving on the CWCF Board is a great opportunity to help guide the worker co-op movement in the country and for networking with other worker co-operators. To be eligible to run, you must be
- a worker-member of a CWCF Regular Member (worker co-op or multi-stakeholder co-op with substantial worker control),
- a person nominated by a Regional Federation (currently only in Quebec),
- a co-op developer member of CWCF (through CoopZone), or
- a Friend of CWCF – a new member category created by bylaw in 2023; application forms will be ready by early September and available on our website.
To reflect its commitment to justice, equity, diversity, decolonization, and inclusion, CWCF encourages nominations from equity-denied groups. A modest honorarium is provided for attendance at board meetings and CWCF AGM/ Conferences, only.
There are three seats available, starting at the 2024 AGM:
- BC/Yukon Director (3-year term)
- Ontario Director (3-year term)
- Quebec Director (3-year term)
Nominations are requested by October 28th, but are open up to and including on the floor of the AGM. There are currently no declared board candidates in the Quebec region. Nominations can be sent to the Nominating Committee members Evan Proven, and/or Jessica Provencher, copying Hazel Corcoran.
