Hi New Liberal!
In case you missed the news, filing is now open for the 2025 Center for New Liberalism Steering Committee Elections, and will close at 11:59 PM Eastern on Thursday, October 9th.
The Steering Committee exists to ensure that the interests of chapters and members are represented and to provide a voice and forum for the direction of organization-wide initiatives to promote liberal ideas in the United States and worldwide. If you'd like a say in CNL's direction, and have ideas for new projects and initiatives for the Steering Committee to spearhead, we encourage you to throw your hat in the ring!
Only Dues-Paying Members and CNL Chapter Leads are eligible to run. Candidates who do not meet this qualifications will not be included on the ballot. To become a member, go to cnliberalism.org/join
What's New for the 2025 Elections
The 2024-25 Steering Committee has voted to move to two-year terms with staggered classes for continuity. The top five vote-getters will be Class I (initially through 2027), and the next four will be Class II (initially through 2026). International representation is guaranteed via class-placement rules.
