While any resident may campaign to be elected to the Board of Directors, the CA asks for Pre-Qualified Candidates to fill out a two page application and be in good standing with the CA.

To receive pre-approval from the Elections Committee, applications must be turned in to the CA Front Desk, attention Katie Sutton, by 4 p.m. during the filing period which begins on March 16 and runs through March 31, 2015.
