We are an all-volunteer, grassroots organization. Our Board of Directors is elected every two years by the membership. We have monthly Board meetings (except for December and August), and all decisions are made by consensus. For the time being, our Board meetings are via zoom. Our Board meetings are always open to all CU4ML members to attend and participate.
CU4ML committees
Most of our work is accomplished in our committees. We encourage our members to join one of our committees and contribute their talents and time towards preserving and protecting our ML homes.
To join a committee, please send an email to committees@cu4ml.org and let us know which committee you would like to work with.
Education & Communications: developing materials about Mitchell-Lama for distribution to our members, politicians, and the public; and updating and maintaining our website
Legislative & Policy: This committee researches and drafts legislation aligned with CU4ML’s goals of protecting, preserving, and expanding the Mitchell-Lama cooperative program. It also produces policy briefs in support of the CU4ML legislative agenda
Membership: keeping track of our members; collecting dues; organizing our twice a year membership meetings; running our elections
Not exactly a committee, but the Board Members Round Table is a once a month convening of CU4ML members who are Board members at their own cooperatives to discuss issues, compare notes, gain support, and create best practices
