CCCC elects its leaders through a ballot mailed to the entire CCCC membership. The CCCC Nominating Committee (click here for a listing of Nominating Committee members from 1994 to the present) is elected annually through this process and serves for one year. The elected Nominating Committee members (as well as the Immediate and Senior Past Chairs of CCCC, who also serve on the nominating committee) select a slate of candidates from nominations, which may be made by any CCCC member. This slate of candidates is contacted, their consent to run obtained, and an election held during the summer to determine who will replace the Assistant Chair (for a four-year term, ascending to Associate Chair, Chair, and Past Chair), the outgoing members of the CCCC Executive Committee, the CCCC Nominating Committee, the CCCC Secretary (every four years), and the CCCC Representative to the NCTE College Forum Committee (every four years).
The 2009 CCCC Nominating Committee invites nominations for the posts of Assistant Chair, NCTE College Forum Committee Representative, Executive Committee (seven members), and 2010 Nominating Committee (five members). The Nominating Committee seeks to identify CCCC members who are committed to the organization and willing to do its work. The post of Assistant Chair involves a four-year commitment, beginning in December 2009. During the first year of the term, the Assistant Chair also serves as Program Chair for the 2011 CCCC Convention. He or she becomes Associate Chair (December 2010), Chair (December 2011), and Immediate Past Chair (December 2012). The NCTE College Forum Representative serves a four-year term to expire in December 2013. In the fourth year of the term, the Representative succeeds to the post of Chair of the NCTE College Forum Committee. This standing committee facilitates collaboration among the college groups of NCTE. Committee members include the chairs and one representative from each college group. The College Forum meets concurrently with NCTE Annual Convention and the CCCC Convention and, on occasion, holds a meeting during the summer. Members of the Executive Committee are expected to make a three-year commitment to serving CCCC, beginning in December 2009. The Executive Committee meets for a full day immediately prior to the CCCC Annual Convention in the spring as well as for two days at the NCTE Annual Convention in the fall. Executive Committee and Nominating Committee members are chosen to represent a mix of institutions and regions. The officers and Executive Committee are committed to increased recruitment, representation, and participation of members of historically underrepresented groups in every aspect of the committee’s work as well as throughout its activities.
Nominations will also be accepted during the open meeting of the CCCC Nominating Committee at the CCCC Convention in San Francisco (dates, times, and locations to be announced).
