The top level of governance is the Executive Board of Directors and includes the President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, 3rd Vice President, an At-Large Representative, a College Division Representative, the immediate Past President, and Secretary.

All positions are open to any qualified member of CSC except the College Division Representative which must be a member representing a non-Division I member organization.

The national staff serves as ex-officio members of the Executive Board. 

Term:

Officer rotation: 5 years (3rd Vice President, 2nd Vice President, 1st Vice President, President, Past President)
Secretary: Permanent
At-Large/College Division Representatives: 2 years

Time commitment:

Monthly Executive Board of Directors virtual conferences take place throughout the year. Executive Board members meet in person with national staff at the NCAA Convention in January, at the CSC Unite annual convention in June, and at a designated location for a late summer meeting typically held in August. Other travel may be requested by the Executive Director or the CSC President, based on availability, to represent CSC at various events.

Note about travel:

CSC Unite Convention: CSC covers hotel room costs for Executive Board members. Executive Board members are responsible for their own transportation and convention registration.
August CSC Leadership Meeting: CSC covers transportation, hotel room and meals for Executive Board of Directors and Advisory Council.
NCAA Convention: CSC covers covers transportation, registration, hotel room and meals for Executive Board of Directors.

How to apply:

Applications are typically open for eligible CSC members beginning in March. Applications close at an announced date in mid-April.

Process:

The Third VP position is open every year. The At-Large Representative and College Division Representative positions alternate each year. The At-Large position (open to any current CSC member from any area of the U.S. or Canada) is open in even years. The College Division Representative (open to any current CSC member from any area of the U.S. or Canada from a non-NCAA Division I school) is open in odd years. Advocates, retired, undergraduate student and honorary members are not eligible to serve in an Executive Board of Directors position.

Each Spring, applications for open positions are reviewed by the CSC Nominating Committee, which is comprised of past presidents and those whose board positions will end in June following CSC Unite. Candidates may be requested to participate in a Zoom interview with the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee then will present a proposed slate of Board members to the Executive Board of Directors in mid-May, with a membership vote to be held during the association’s annual online business meeting in late May.
