Willingness to Serve

2022 Board of Directors Nominations

CFTA Directors are elected members that serve the governing body of the association. There are five (5) Director seats in the association and each serves a 3-year term with alternating start years, for purposes of staggering Board turnover. An election occurs annually during the CFTA Conference. CFTA Officers are chosen in such a manner as determined by the Board of Directors.
