Organization
The Board
The Board is the elected body that is responsible for the governing of the chapter. The Board was modeled after corporate America and was required by PMI Headquarters in 2001 when they required all chapters to become incorporated within their respective geographical areas. The Board consists of the President, President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, two Directors-at-Large, VP Operations, Digital Strategy Advisor and Strategic Programs Director.
The Officers
The Officers are appointed by the Board and are responsible for the leadership of the chapter. The Officers each manage committees which are responsible for the operational aspects of the chapter. These committees and officers will change over time depending upon the needs of the chapter. The standing committees include Finance, Communications, Member Services, Outreach, Professional Development and Professional Development Day.
The Bylaws
The COC Bylaws have been updated to change the commitment interval for the President-Elect, to update our DEI policy, and to make some editing changes to clarify or simplify the document. The 30-day member review period has concluded. COC members will receive an electronic ballot to vote on the approval of the updated bylaws. Please click here to see a copy of the updated Bylaws.
