California Homeschool Network Elections

California Homeschool Network is a 501(c)3 Organization with a board of six trustees elected by members in good standing.

Elections are held each year. Trustees are elected to serve a two year term, and three of our trustee seats are up for election each year.

Our bylaws are available online for examination.

Who is eligible to run as a Trustee?

According to CHN's bylaws:

Trustees shall be voting members in good standing and have been CHN members for at least 365 days prior to the date ballots are mailed, March 1; shall have volunteered for CHN for 6 months, be an active or retired homeschool parent, and shall uphold CHN's bylaws, Declaration of Homeschool Independence, and Mission Statement.

Each fall members interested in becoming trustee candidates submit a questionnaire. If you would like to be considered for candidacy, please fill out the Trustee Candidate Questionnaire. Directions on where to submit the questionnaire are printed on the bottom of the form. Questionnaires will be accepted beginning in October of each year. Deadlines for submitting the questionnaire will be posted in the CHNzine.

Completed questionnaires are distributed to all members in the early part of the year to enable them to get to know the candidates a little better.

Our elections take place in the spring and will be conducted by CHN's Election Committee Chair. Election results will be posted in the early summer issue of CHNews and in the CHNzine. Members wishing to vote are required to be registered CHN members by January 1st in order to be eligible.
