Nominations & Elections

CUR is governed by bylaws and a governance structure, led by volunteer leaders who work together to advance CUR’s strategic plan and mission. CUR volunteer leaders can be found at all levels of the organization.

CUR is looking for volunteers who are committed to advancing the strategic plan and goals set forth and representative of all institution types.
