Cornell Club of Washington

Board of Directors

The Cornell Club of Washington is governed by a volunteer board of directors, which is chaired by the president. The board consists of the elected officers, the immediate past president, 10 directors elected by the club membership, and up to five directors appointed by the president. Officers are elected for one-year terms beginning on July 1, with the exception of the two-year term for the treasurer. Elected directors serve a two-year term, and appointed directors serve a one-year term.

If you would like to learn more about CCW leadership opportunities, please contact the president, Mark Fornasiero. Using the terms listed below in bold, indicate the committees of your greatest interest. On the committee for communications, CCW is looking to appoint a webmaster and an administrator for our Wild Apricot platform. We have growth opportunities (and resume builders) for people with technical expertise to run our digital, web-based communications.

All CCW members are warmly welcomed to attend our monthly Board Meetings to meet the following volunteers and explore how we get work accomplished. (Most of our monthly meetings are "hybrid" with some folks attending in person and additional people attending via Zoom.)
