CCCC Board Member
An Informational Overview
As a board member, you will be expected to participate in discussions, research and gather information, review information, and make informed decisions that affect our governance and our services to our membership.
Our board members are team players yet function independently when needed. As we learn more about our system, our history, our challenges; we find our own niche that allows us to work more cohesively. When we have a larger number of members on the board, the rewards are bigger and the service time is more enjoyable since we are able to part out tasks that many of us currently take on in mass quantities.
Terms are for three years with one to four meetings annually depending on the number of projects we are undertaking, sometimes more frequently if facing challenges or projects that coordinate with a number of governmental agencies. Board members are eligible to hold office after one year of service.
Here are some statements from our present and past board members about their service on the board:
"New to the neighborhood, I figured this would be a good way to learn about the area while contributing to the community. I didn't think I'd be very useful, seeing that I didn't know the first thing about treatment plants or generators or wells and pumps; but this is much more than that -- and I have learned about those things, too, which has been surprisingly rewarding!"
"I have enjoyed working with [my fellow board members]. I have enjoyed learning more about the well system and getting to know [everyone]."
"I don't know the first thing about single or triple phase connections or most of how a water system is operated, but being able to provide my knowledge and expertise in what I do know while not having to spend hours on end to help keep my system working and the costs down? It seems like that's a win-win situation and the smartest thing to do."
Currently entering into the 2025-2026 session, the board is:
- wrapping up a system analysis;
- writing policies and procedures;
- beginning a multi-phase distribution system overhaul.
There are many working parts involved in these plans, but by having a large board at the helm, we will be able to manage all of these projects seamlessly and without overwhelming each individual board member.
