Changes to CCESO’s Constitution To Be Voted on at Annual Meeting

COBLESKILL—Attendees at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schoharie and Otsego Counties’ annual business meeting on Tuesday, October 21will vote on the adoption of a new constitution. According to a press release issued on Monday, September 29, the proposed change to the CCESO’s constitution moves the composition of the association’s Board of Directors from a mixture of at-large directors and directors elected from the ranks of the association’s Program Advisory Committees to a board of all at-large, directly elected directors. CCESO’s board composition will continue to include six directors from each county and an elected official from each county, officials said. The Program Advisory Committees will continue to meet with CCESO staff and board liaisons, who will provide program reports to the Board of Directors.

A slate of directors will also be voted on at the business meeting. Those interested in serving on CCESO’s Board of Directors are asked to contact Executive Director Liz Callahan at eac283@cornell.edu or (518) 234-4303, extension 116. Residents of Schoharie and Otsego counties who are 18 years old or older are encouraged to participate either in-person or virtually in this process.
