The CACO Board of Directors comprises current or past class officers who volunteer their time and experience to help current leaders increase the effectiveness of their class work. Board members are elected for three-year terms, and although they may not serve more than two consecutive terms, they may be re-elected after a two-year hiatus. Board meetings are held in January, April, and at Homecoming, with committee meetings scheduled in between (usually via e-mail or conference call). CACO is also represented on the Cornell Alumni Federation Board (CAF), the Cornell Alumni Magazine Committee, and on the Trustee Sub-Committee on Alumni Affairs. If you would like to become involved with the board as a committee member or if you have any suggestions, please call Alumni House at (607) 255-1988.
