Colorado Municipal League (CML) is now accepting applications for members interested in running for the CML Executive Board.

Applications accepted starting April 7 through Friday, May 23 by 5 p.m.

Per CML bylaws, half of the 20 elected board seats have terms ending this year and will be on the ballot in June.

There are 10 board seats that will be on the ballot:

  • Largest Category (Population 250,000+): Two positions (one for a two-year term, one for a one-year term)
  • Large Category (Population 50,000–249,999): Three positions (two-year terms)
  • Medium Category (Population 8,000–49,999): Three positions (two-year terms)
  • Small Category (Population <8,000): Three positions (two-year terms)

Population figures for the June 2025 election will be based on Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) estimates used to establish 2025 municipal dues for member municipalities. Members may contact CML to confirm their population category.

Candidates meeting all qualifications will be placed on the slate by the CML Nominating Committee and be voted on by the membership at the CML Annual Business Meeting on Thursday, June 26 during the 103rd CML Annual Conference in Breckenridge. Voting procedures will be outlined in the “Notice of Annual Business Meeting,” which will be sent to all member municipalities before the conference.

CML Executive Board members are elected at-large, meaning each member municipality can vote for candidates in all population categories.

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.

Application procedure:

CML bylaws require that Executive Board members be elected or appointed officials of member cities and towns. To be nominated for a board position, an official must:

  1. Submit an application to the Nominating Committee; applications must be received by Friday, May 23 at 5 p.m. 
  2. Obtain and submit a written letter or resolution signed by the mayor (or appropriate substitute, if needed) affirming the endorsement of the applicant’s candidacy by the city council or board of trustees, also by Friday, May 23.
    Please note that each city council or board of trustees may endorse only one nominee from their municipalit    y. Individual endorsements or endorsements signed by staff do not satisfy this requirement.

For applications, endorsements, or questions about the Executive Board or election process, contact Kevin Bommer, executive director, at kbommer@cml.org.
