LEADERSHIP CIRCLE

 

Individual and institutional members of the ZCOG Leadership Circle (Board of Directors) provide critical operations and programming support, which allows the group to pursue its core mission of promoting capacity building and collaborative zoo and aquarium -based wildlife conservation efforts throughout the Americas.  In addition, the Leadership Circle interprets and enforces the organization’s Bylaws and Policy Manual and provides advice and consent on a broad range of financial, programmatic, and operational matters.

 

Individuals representing qualified institutions, organizations, or private interests are nominated and elected to the ZCOG Board based on (1) a demonstrated leadership in their respective fields of expertise and (2) a strong commitment to promoting and advancing zoo and aquarium –based wildlife and habitat conservation efforts in the Americas. Members are elected by a majority vote of the Board and may serve multiple, consecutive three-year terms. At least one permanent seat on the Leadership Circle may be reserved for the CEO or President of the group’s host institution.
