The nomination process is open through February 6, 2026 for three CaRCC Transitional Board seats, as CaRCC continues the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. These open positions will be elected to serve three-year terms and will replace (or potentially re-elect) those who were initially elected to serve a one-year term to create staggered re-election cycles. Members whose seats are up for election are: Bob Freeman, Jason Simms, and James Wilgenbusch.
Two of the seats are At-Large and may be filled by any qualified member of the CaRCC community. One seat must be filled by a qualified member who works at a non-R1 institution. Please consider nominating yourself or others for a seat on the Transitional Board.
