Governing Board Service & Elections
Serving on the Board
COAEYC's governing board of directors is made up of early childhood professionals across the state. Our board currently has 10 voting members, with the Board Chair abstaining from voting unless a tie-breaker is needed. We strive to recruit board members that reflect varying experiences, skills, backgrounds, geographic locations within Colorado, and different roles within the early childhood education spectrum.
Spanish and Arabic resources will be added soon.
Voting for Board Members
Members of the COAEYC Board of Directors are voted in by membership. The only exception to this rule is the treasurer, which bylaws allow the board to appoint to ensure that this individual has the skillset and capacity to fulfill the role. Since these bylaws were adopted, each treasurer has been selected from board members that have been elected by COAEYC members.
In 2025, COAEYC will fill 4 seats for the term beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2028. Voting will open on May 1. Members in good standing will receive a unique link to access the electronic ballot via email.
