Share Feedback: COED Governance Updates

The COED Executive is excited to share that our Governance documentation is in the process of being updated to reflect the current nature of our community landscape. This past June a COED Town Hall presented the proposed updates and members had the opportunity to weigh in during that event.

A brief summary of the proposed changes includes:

  • updating the inclusive language throughout;
  • solidifying online voting as the primary method for decision making (as opposed to the in-person Fall meeting); and
  • introducing Terms of References both for the Executive and the General Membership.

We are now at the final phase where the draft documentation has been shared to the broader community for an opportunity to review and provide asynchronous feedback. Please visit the COED Governance Feedback Padlet wall to share your feedback.

In accordance with the current By-Laws and Constitution, a formal 2-week notification period will be sent out prior to opening the vote for an additional 2-week voting period.

You are strongly encouraged to review the documentation and cast your vote, because ultimately it is your voices from our community that will shape the future of COED.
