Call for Executive Committee Nominations

​We have TWO vacancies on the COAST Executive Committee com​ing up in 2021!  

Each seat can be filled by EITHER a faculty member OR an administrator. We are calling for nominations and will hold an election in early October. If you are an enthusiastic, hard-working and engaged COAST member, please consider nominating yourself by Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020. Self-nominations are not only allowed, they are strongly encouraged!!


Our Governance Structure allows any member of COAST to serve a three-year term on the Executive Committee. Serving on the Executive Committee is a chance to make a significant contribution to the continued development of the program. Executive Committee members provide vision and leadership for the program, help prioritize activities and make resource allocation decisions, develop new opportunities for CSU faculty and students, and review applications to COAST and make funding recommendations. Please see page two of our Governance Structure​ that includes additional information on the Executive Committee and its responsibilities and procedures.

Executive Committee members participate in monthly conference calls that are held on the third Monday of every month from 9:00-11:00 am. Participation in these calls is extremely critical-this is where the EC does most of its work and makes decisions. Executive Committee members also attend two retreats each year (early January and late May). These retreats will be held virtually in 2021.
