In This Section

CML is now accepting applications for members interested in running for the CML Executive Board.

Applications will be accepted now through Friday, May 31 by 5 p.m.

Per CML bylaws, half of the board seats have terms ending this year and will be on the ballot. Additionally, a vacancy in the Large category means there will be an additional seat on the ballot. Current board members whose terms are expiring are eligible to run for reelection, provided they meet all the necessary criteria for being elected to the Board.

There are 11 board seats that will be on the ballot:

  • One (1) position from municipalities with a population of 250,000 or more (Largest category) for a two-year term.

  • Four (4) positions from municipalities with a population from 50,000-249,999 (Large category), for three two-year terms and one one-year term.

  • Three (3) positions from municipalities with a population from 8,000-49,999 (Medium category) for two-year terms

  • Three (3) positions from municipalities with a population less than 8,000 (Small category) for two-year terms.

Population figures for the June 2024 election will be based on population estimates from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) that were used to compute 2024 municipal dues for member municipalities. Members may contact CML to confirm the population category of their municipalities.

CML membership will vote for members' names placed on the ballot by the CML Nominating Committee at the Annual Business Meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 20, during the 102nd CML Annual Conference in Loveland. Detailed voting procedures will be included in the Notice of Annual Business Meeting sent to all member municipalities prior to the Annual Conference.  

CML Executive Board members are elected at-large, meaning each member municipality is entitled to vote at the CML Annual Business Meeting for their choices in all population categories.

Application procedure:

Colorado Municipal League bylaws require CML Executive Board members to be elected or appointed officials of member cities and towns. Any official who desires to be nominated for a position on the CML Executive Board must:

  1. File an application for nomination with the CML Nominating Committee. Applications must be received by Friday, May 31 at 5 p.m. 
  2. Obtain and submit a written endorsement from the applicant’s city council or board of trustees, also due by Friday, May 31 at 5 p.m. Please note that each city council or board of trustees may only endorse the nomination of one official from the city or town for election.

All applications and endorsements, as well as questions about the CML Executive Board or the election process should be directed to Kevin Bommer, executive director, at kbommer@cml.org.
