Board, Committees & Staff

The Board of Directors is elected by the full membership of the association for two-year staggered terms. In addition to the Board of Directors, CAF has three volunteer board advisory committees. CAF members are encouraged to participate on committees and are asked to serve for two years. Together, the executive director, the board and the committees are responsible for programs, member services, the operating budget and other administrative functions.
