Behind the Scenes: The Important Work of the CCA Nominating Committee

Have you ever wondered how board members are chosen each year for the CCA? It’s not a simple process—it takes careful thought, consideration, and a commitment to representing our diverse membership. That’s where the Nominating Committee comes in.

A Big Responsibility

Each year, the Nominating Committee takes on the important task of selecting individuals who might best serve on the CCA Board. This isn’t just about choosing leaders; it’s about ensuring that our board reflects the variety of voices within our community. We consider candidates from different:

• Practice areas – to bring expertise from across the profession.
• Firm sizes – so perspectives from large firms, small firms, and everything in between are represented.
• Career stages and paths – because every professional journey is unique.
  

By bringing together people from different backgrounds, we ensure that every CCA member has a voice at the table.

Where We Start

Our first step is reviewing our incredible list of volunteers—people who truly believe in CCA’s mission and want to contribute to its success. These individuals dedicate their time and expertise to making our organization stronger, and many of them go on to serve in leadership roles.

If you’re ever interested in getting more involved, we’d love to hear from you! There are two easy ways to start:

1. Talk to a board member – They can share insights on the process and help you find the right opportunity.
2. Fill out our annual survey – At the start of each year, we send out a survey to gather interest from potential volunteers.

Be Part of the Process

The strength of CCA comes from its members, and that includes you! Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, your voice matters. If you’re passionate about shaping the future of CCA, consider stepping up and getting involved.

Have questions? Reach out to a board member or keep an eye out for our volunteer survey at the beginning of the year. We’d love to see you become part of the CCA leadership community!
