Interested candidates should submit their request for consideration to Coloradoevents@accglobal.com, along with a resume and a short summary of why the candidate is best qualified for Board membership, addressing and taking into consideration the criteria noted above and highlighting any volunteer work you have done with ACC Colorado and/or ACC Global.
