Make It Real Campaign: The NCBON's application process has been revised to include the official and documented buy-in of a member's organizational leadership (i.e., the Executive Director or CEO, etc.). As a result, we are asking ALL NCBON Members (Regular and Affiliate) to join our "Make It Real Campaign" by completing the updated membership application. The completed application MUST be received by 11:59 p.m. (ET), October 1st of each year, in order for you to be able to vote during the NCBON Annual Business Meeting that year. Current members of NCBON who do not submit a revised application will be classified as an "Individual Affiliate Member" with a non-voting status until a revised/signed application is submitted.

CBOP-CERB also provides on-going community guidance as requested by project leads.
